Airbus deliveries down 18% in first two months of the year
The European aircraft manufacturer Airbus has reported an 18% drop in deliveries during the first two months of 2025 compared to the same period last year. According to the company’s report this Friday, a total of 65 aircraft were delivered between January and February.
Factors Influencing the Decrease in Deliveries
Airbus had previously warned of a possible reduction in deliveries for the first quarter of 2025. This is largely due to the fact that engine supplier CFM’s deliveries were brought forward to the fourth quarter of last year. This strategy helped the company meet its annual delivery target for 2024 but has affected the production pace in the first few months of this year.

In February, Airbus delivered 40 aircraft, confirming the slowdown compared to previous periods. Despite this, the company continues to make progress in its production and order management.
Orders and Relevant Figures
Despite the reduction in deliveries, Airbus recorded 14 new orders in February, bringing the total orders for the year so far to 69. After adjustments for cancellations, the company reached a net total of 65 orders in the first two months of 2025, a figure significantly higher than the 33 net orders recorded in the same period in 2024.
Although the start of the year has been moderate in terms of deliveries, the increase in orders indicates sustained demand for Airbus aircraft. The company will continue to work on stabilizing its supply chain and optimizing production to meet the commitments made to its customers.
