2025 Delivery Target and Challenges

Airbus aims to deliver approximately 820 commercial aircraft in 2025. With 235 aircraft remaining to be delivered in the last two months, the company faces challenges such as ongoing global supply chain issues and engine shortages, which may hinder meeting this target.

Order Book Overview

In October 2025, Airbus secured 112 gross orders, a sharp increase compared to only 10 orders in September. However, this is lower than the 99 orders received in August. Total gross orders for 2025 have reached 722 aircraft, including:

"Airbus delivered a total of 585 aircraft to 85 customers so far in 2025, including 522 single-aisle and 63 widebody jets."
"The company is targeting around 820 commercial aircraft deliveries for the year."
"Airbus secured 112 gross orders in October 2025, a significant recovery after a low September."

Summary: Despite solid delivery rates and a rebound in orders, Airbus faces a challenging end to 2025 in meeting its 820-aircraft delivery goal due to supply chain constraints and time remaining.
