June Delivery Momentum Lifts Internal Expectations
Airbus (EU:AIR) is reportedly aiming to deliver around 900 aircraft in 2026 under an internal performance target, following a strong June in which the aircraft manufacturer handed over 89 commercial jets, according to industry sources.
Despite the improved momentum, Airbus has not altered its official full-year guidance and continues to forecast 870 aircraft deliveries for the year.
China Catch-Up and Supply Improvements Support Output
Sources said June’s performance was driven by Airbus accelerating deliveries that had previously been delayed to Chinese customers. Production has also benefited from an easing in engine supply constraints, allowing more aircraft to be completed and delivered.
The stronger monthly performance has raised internal confidence that deliveries could exceed the company’s published target if production continues to improve during the second half of the year.
Company Declines to Comment
Airbus did not respond to requests for comment regarding the reported internal delivery objective. Bloomberg reported on Friday that the European aircraft manufacturer had delivered approximately 90 aircraft during June, broadly in line with the figures cited by industry sources.
