Airbus handed over 78 aircraft in October, taking year‑to‑date deliveries to 585 and leaving roughly 235 jets to reach a company target of about 820 for the full year. The October result raises the risk Airbus will miss its 2025 delivery goal despite narrowbody production strength.

Briefing
October’s 78 handovers leave Airbus with a clear numerical gap — about 235 aircraft — to reach its roughly 820 full‑year target, increasing pressure on fourth‑quarter delivery scheduling and customer fleet plans.

Airbus has been relying on improved supplier performance and program actions to support a 7% delivery increase to ~820, a key piece of company guidance now under strain: https://hype.aero/?story=9a2bdf9e-6c10-494f-a1ac-5e5b6a15d434
Longer‑term capacity moves — including a second A320 final assembly line in Tianjin and other line openings — are intended to boost output, but near‑term delivery timing and lessor placement remain sensitive to supply‑chain dynamics: https://hype.aero/?story=26b59c89-aada-4e88-9deb-ba9c666baf19
