Airbus maintains its 870 delivery target and plans factory in France
Late October 2026, Airbus maintains its target of 870 deliveries for the year despite a mixed third quarter, while Airbus and Boeing struggle to maintain production rates and Boeing lowers its industrial targets. Early November, Pratt & Whitney engine problems persist on A320neos, while the situation improves for the A220. Airbus says it has delivered 621 commercial aircraft in the first ten months of the year and needs to deliver around 250 aircraft by year-end to meet its target. The aircraft manufacturer accelerated deliveries in October and aims for a new annual record in 2026, despite production delays from its suppliers. On November 10, Airbus announces plans for a factory in France to manufacture engine pylons for 2031, an investment of 600 million euros employing 3,500 people.
