PARIS (Reuters) -Airbus delivered a provisional 70 jets in September, lifting the cumulative number of deliveries achieved since the start of the year above the equivalent running total for 2024 for the first time, according to preliminary Cirium data.
Data from the UK-based analytics firm suggests Airbus delivered 504 aircraft between January and September, up 1.4% from 497 in the first nine months of 2024, subject to final revisions. Cumulative deliveries had previously been lagging as the planemaker faces engine shortages.
Airbus, which targets a 7% increase in full-year deliveries to 820, declined to comment ahead of an October 8 delivery update.
