In November, Airbus delivered 64 jets to different customers, 4 units behind the same month last year. The company's goal continues to be to deliver 720 aircraft this year. The total accumulated until November is 623 jets delivered.
Despite the 6% drop in November, Airbus is close to its delivery target for this year. Over the past three years, the company has managed to maintain an average of 93 planes delivered in December, even amid difficulties. There are 97 aircraft left for this month. In 2022, 98 aircraft were delivered in December.
Airbus' order backlog for 2023 was 1512 aircraft, but 117 orders were cancelled, totaling 1395 firm orders, 113 of which in November alone.
As for the aircraft delivered, there were 29 A321neo, 19 A320neo, 7 A220-300, three A330-900 and six A350-900.
Compared to the accumulated number of aircraft delivered, Airbus delivered 62 more narrowbodies and 4 fewer widebodies than last year.
