Airbus Deliveries Surge 59% in May

In May 2026, Airbus reported a substantial increase in aircraft deliveries, with 81 planes handed over. This represents a 59% rise compared to May 2025, bringing the total deliveries for the year to 262 aircraft.

The significant jump in deliveries was partly due to the resumption of service to China, following a temporary administrative delay that has since been resolved. This marks a return to normal operations for crucial international clients.

Year-to-date, Airbus has secured 815 gross orders, resulting in a net total of 762 after accounting for cancellations. The company is working towards its ambitious target of delivering 870 jets in the full year 2026.
