Airbus delivered 74 aircraft in October, faces year-end sprint to hit 2026 target By Investing.com

Airbus delivered 74 aircraft in October, lifting its total for the first 10 months to 621 and setting up a heavy year-end push to hit its 2026 target of about 870 deliveries. To reach the goal, the manufacturer would need to hand over another 249 planes in November and December, averaging roughly 125 per month—an expected record for the year. October deliveries were led by single-aisle jets: 39 A321neos, 15 A320neos, nine A220-300s and one A319neo, plus four A330-900s and six A350s. Airbus booked 202 gross orders in October, with Avolon and Aviation Capital Group each ordering 75, and CIT Leasing ordering 35.
