Airbus Reports Strong Aircraft Delivery Growth in May
Monthly Delivery Performance
June 5 (Reuters) - Airbus delivered 81 aircraft in May, up 59% from the same month last year and bringing its total deliveries to 262 so far this year, the planemaker said on Friday in its monthly report.
Comparison with Previous Months
May's tally rose sharply from 67 in April and 51 in May 2025, confirming a Reuters report from Thursday, as deliveries to China resumed after what the company described as an administrative delay that has since been resolved.
Order Book and Future Targets
Airbus, which has booked 815 gross orders since January or a net total of 762 after cancellations, aims to deliver 870 jets in 2026.
