Airbus September deliveries surpass expectations: France-based airplane maker Airbus delivered 73 jets in September amid improvements in engine delivery rates, Reuters reported last week, citing unnamed sources. The number exceeds the expected 69-70 jets predicted by some analysts, coming in higher than the 50 jets recorded in September 2024. This brought Airbus’ 9M 2025 deliveries above 2024’s year-to-date tally, the newswire reported.

Sticking the landing? To meet its 2025 goal of 820 aircraft deliveries, Airbus needs to deliver 313 jets in 4Q 2025 — a feat that would mark a 16% y-o-y increase compared to the same period last year. Its highest 4Q peak on record was in 2018 with 297 deliveries.

Latest Airbus orders from the region: PIF-owned aircraft lessor AviLease placed an order with Airbus to acquire 40 jets — with the option to expand the order to 77 jets — during the 2025 Paris Air Show. Riyadh Air also ordered 25 Airbus A350-1000 carriers — with a possibility of increasing the order to 50 A350-1000.
