Airbus delivered 72 aircraft in November, bringing year‑to‑date handovers to 657 and leaving it needing 133 deliveries in December to reach a revised 2025 target of about 790. The cut follows a fuselage‑panel supplier quality issue on A320s that requires additional checks.

Briefing
Airbus has done 657 deliveries so far in 2025 and must complete 133 handovers in December to hit a revised target of ~790; November volumes fell 14% year‑on‑year.
The target reduction stems from a fuselage‑panel supplier quality issue on A320s that requires extra inspections, directly compressing handover capacity for the year.
This adds to ongoing supplier bottlenecks across the industry — Airbus has been holding about 60 A320neo "gliders" awaiting components (see coverage of the A320neo gliders) and wider parts shortages such as aircraft seats have already constrained deliveries (see coverage of seat shortages and engine supply trends).
