Airbus, the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer, announced this Wednesday that it has delivered 507 commercial aircraft during the first nine months of the year, moving closer to its annual target of approximately 820 units. To meet this goal, the company must deliver an additional 313 aircraft in the last quarter of 2025, a significant but achievable challenge according to recent operational progress.
A Record September Boosts Production Pace
In September, Airbus reached a historical record for that month, with 73 deliveries to 41 customers, reflecting a notable improvement in engine supplies. This figure significantly surpasses the 50 deliveries from the same period last year, demonstrating a steady recovery in its production chain.

An Airbus spokesperson noted that the number of “gliders” – fully assembled aircraft without engines – has decreased compared to the peak of 60 units reported at the beginning of the year. Although a new exact figure was not provided, the reduction suggests a more stable flow of engines, a key element for sustaining deliveries.
Orders in 2025 So Far
Regarding new orders, Airbus received 10 new orders during the ninth month of the year and has accumulated a backlog of 610 aircraft in 2025. This volume of orders reinforces its market leadership and evidences the confidence of airlines in its production capacity and ability to meet commitments.
