Airbus Confirms Full-Year Delivery Target as H1 Handovers Rise 15%
Summary
CEO Guillaume Faury said the European planemaker is on track to deliver 870 aircraft in 2026, citing a 15% year-over-year increase in first-half deliveries and stabilizing engine supplies.
Airbus SE remains on course to meet its full-year delivery target of 870 aircraft after a 15% year-over-year increase in handovers for the first half of 2026, CEO Guillaume Faury told CNBC on Monday.
The announcement, made from the Farnborough Airshow, provides a key signal of operational stability for the European aerospace giant as it navigates a complex supply chain environment.
Delivery Momentum Builds
According to comments made to CNBC, Airbus delivered significantly more aircraft in the first six months of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This performance keeps the company aligned with its annual production and delivery goals.
"We have delivered 15% more aircraft in the first half of 2026 than we did in the first half of 2025," Faury stated. He added that the result is "very consistent with the ramp-up trajectory we want to deliver this year."
AdSupply Chain Easing
The improved delivery rate was attributed to a stabilization in the supply of aircraft engines. This has been a critical bottleneck for both Airbus and its competitors, and an easing of these constraints is crucial for sustaining higher production levels.
For investors, aircraft delivery figures are a closely watched metric as they directly correlate with revenue recognition and cash flow. The confirmation of the full-year target suggests growing confidence within Airbus management that the worst of the recent supply chain disruptions may be abating, supporting its production ramp-up plans.
