Airbus sets target of delivering 820 commercial aircraft in 2025
Airbus revealed its guidance for 2025 on Thursday with a slightly higher target for commercial aircraft deliveries than last year.
According to the manufacturer, the target will be to reach 820 commercial jet deliveries, an increase of 7% if met. In 2024, Airbus delivered 766 aircraft, just below the revised target of 770 planes.
The planemaker had originally planned to deliver 800 commercial jets last year, but supply chain issues prompted a revision of the plans.
For much of 2024, Airbus was far from meeting the revised guidance, but in recent months it has managed to recover and come close to the target.
The situation in 2025 does not look any different. In January, for example, Airbus delivered just 25 aircraft compared to 30 in the same month in 2024.
In financial terms, the company expects to achieve an Adjusted EBIT of €7 billion (US$7.76 billion) compared to €5.35 billion in 2024.
The order book grew 14% overall, reaching €629 billion.
“We achieved strong order intake across all businesses in 2024, with a book-to-bill well above 1, confirming the solid demand for our products and services. We delivered on our 2024 guidance in what was a testing year for Airbus,” said Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO.
