Airbus: Aircraft Deliveries Fell by 8% in April
Airbus reported on Wednesday that it delivered 56 aircraft in April, marking an 8% decline compared to the same month last year. This drop adds to a more moderate but persistent trend: so far in 2025, the company has delivered 192 aircraft, a 5% decrease from the same period in 2024.
Context and Cumulative Figures
Despite this monthly slowdown, the European manufacturer maintains its annual target of 820 commercial deliveries, which would represent a 7% increase over the previous year. The goal remains firm amid logistical challenges, particularly delays in engine deliveries, which the company expects to intensify during the current quarter but stabilize by summer.

Sales: Orders and Cancellations
Alongside deliveries, Airbus recorded 11 new orders in April, bringing the year-to-date total to 291 units sold. After accounting for cancellations, the net order figure stands at 215 aircraft for the first four months of the year.
Medium-Term Outlook
Although the impact of engine delays could temporarily pressure the production chain, Airbus’s confidence in meeting its annual target suggests strong management and a tight delivery schedule for the second half of the year.
With these results, Airbus remains focused on the gradual recovery of production and deliveries, which are critical in a global market that continues to demand modern and efficient fleets.
