Airbus 2025 Delivery Target Faces Challenges Despite October Gains
In October 2025, Airbus delivered 78 aircraft, raising its total deliveries for the year to 585. The European manufacturer aims to reach 820 commercial aircraft in 2025, but with 235 jets remaining to be delivered in the last two months, meeting this target could be challenging.
Delivery Overview
Airbus steadily increased its monthly deliveries, with 78 aircraft delivered to 36 customers in October, compared to 73 aircraft delivered to 41 customers in September. The company has supplied 585 aircraft to 85 customers so far this year.
- 522 single-aisle jets from the A220 and A320 families
- 63 widebody jets, including 23 A330s and 40 A350s
Order Book Developments
In October 2025, Airbus secured 112 gross orders, showing a strong rebound after only 10 orders were recorded in September. This is a notable fluctuation following the 99 orders seen in August.
Airbus’ total gross orders in 2025 have reached 722 aircraft, comprising 521 single-aisle jets, 111 A350, and 90 A330 widebody jets.
Supply Chain Constraints
Despite higher deliveries in October, ongoing global supply chain issues, including engine shortages, may hinder Airbus’ ability to fulfill its 2025 delivery target within the remaining months.
Summary
Airbus shows positive momentum in deliveries and orders but faces significant supply chain challenges that put its 2025 delivery goal at risk.
Author's summary: Airbus delivered 78 jets in October 2025 but must overcome supply chain hurdles to meet its ambitious target of 820 aircraft deliveries by year-end.
