Airbus deliveries slide backwards in July, total remains ahead of 2025

Airbus lost some of the momentum it has recently been building on commercial aircraft deliveries during July 2026, but overall, the planemaker remains ahead of 2025.

On August 7, 2026, Airbus confirmed that it delivered 67 aircraft in July 2026 to 39 customers. Last year, the company announced 67 jets had been delivered in July.

The total deliveries for this year rose to 418 against 373 at the same point last year.

In June 2026, Airbus delivered 89 planes and in May 2026, 81 aircraft were delivered. The 67 deliveries in July 2026 match exactly where Airbus was in April 2026.

Last month, Airbus published its half year and second quarter results, with the company reaffirming its ambition to deliver around 870 commercial aircraft in 2026.

In terms of orders, Airbus received 418, which included some from the agreements announced at Farnborough Airshow 2026.

Among the July 2026 figures are Riyadh Air’s confirmation that it would purchase an additional six A350-1000s and SMBC’s huge order for 100 new aircraft.

China Eastern’s order for 25 A330-900s was also listed, as was an order for six A321neos from an undisclosed customer.
