Airbus delivers 35 jets in February as engine shortages and A350 delays threaten 870‑jet 2026 target

Airbus handed over 35 aircraft to 21 customers in February, taking year‑to‑date deliveries to 54 and registering 28 new orders. Persistent engine shortages, fuselage rework and A350 completion delays are straining output and put the manufacturer's 870‑aircraft delivery goal for 2026 at risk.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Airbus delivered 35 aircraft in February (54 YTD) against a 2026 plan for 870 handovers — engine availability and component rework are creating near‑term throughput risk ([source:91b97756-8d62-4b17-aeee-23e3f405b0ff], [source:7f57f38e-d5a4-4356-a4bd-1447ee23a430]).
  • Reduced handovers and ongoing A350 programme disruption alter competitive delivery dynamics and airline fleet timing; early‑year data already showed Airbus easing output while Boeing surged ([source:cc1698cd-c4ae-4419-9170-992dd1923bb4], [source:427b6e77-bba4-4828-8121-d8b418ec44f3]).
