Airbus deliveries topped 80 aircraft in November
Airbus deliveries rose sharply in November to more than 80 jets as the planemaker recovered from a downturn and made progress towards year-end targets, industry sources said.
The world’s largest planemaker declined comment on the monthly deliveries, which are due to be announced on Dec. 6 following a routine internal audit.
Airbus is officially targeting 2024 deliveries of “around 770” jets but most analysts do not expect it to reach that headline figure after supply problems, and are instead focusing on a figure closer to 750.

After a mid-year profit warning, driven in part by a shortfall in engine supplies, deliveries spiked in November after engine maker CFM and Airbus reached a deal over short-term engine supplies, reported by Reuters last week.
Industry sources said deliveries jumped around 25% in November from the same month last year to top 80, bringing deliveries this year to around 640 and leaving some 110 to go. In December last year, Airbus delivered 112 jets.
If confirmed, it would be the highest November tally since 2018, when Airbus delivered 89 jets in the penultimate month.
