Airbus Delivers 793 Commercial Aircraft in 2025 as Orders and Backlog Hit New Records

Airbus closed 2025 with strong commercial performance, reporting 793 aircraft deliveries, a 4% year‑on‑year increase, and securing 1,000 gross orders from 57 customers. The results underscore sustained global demand for Airbus’ single‑aisle and widebody product lines despite a challenging operating environment.

The European manufacturer delivered aircraft to 91 customers worldwide, maintaining its upward trajectory for the third consecutive year. Deliveries by family type were:

The A320 Family once again dominated output, accounting for more than three‑quarters of all deliveries.

Airbus recorded 1,000 gross orders in 2025, translating to 889 net orders after cancellations. The order mix reflects strong demand across the portfolio:

• 49 A220s

• 656 A320 Family aircraft

• 100 A330neos

• 2 A330 MRTTs

• 193 A350s

  
  

The widebody segment performed particularly well, with airlines renewing long‑haul fleets and expanding capacity as international travel continued to rebound.

Airbus ended 2025 with a record backlog of 8,754 aircraft, the highest year‑end figure in its history. Widebody orders also reached a new peak, with 1,124 aircraft in the backlog.

The company reported another book‑to‑bill ratio above 1, indicating that new orders exceeded deliveries, a key indicator of long‑term market strength.

Throughout 2025, Airbus celebrated several landmark achievements:

• First deliveries of the A321XLR, the long‑range variant of the A320neo family

• New operators joining the A220, A330neo, and A350‑1000 fleets

• Repeat orders from major global carriers

• Expansion of Airbus’ presence across all regions, including Asia‑Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas

  
  

Despite supply‑chain pressures and a complex global environment, Airbus maintained stable production and continued to ramp up output across its product lines.

With a record backlog and strong order momentum, Airbus enters 2026 with a solid foundation for further production increases. The company is expected to continue scaling A320 Family output while supporting growing demand for next‑generation widebodies such as the A350‑900 and A350‑1000.

Airbus’ 2025 performance reinforces its position as a global leader in commercial aviation manufacturing, driven by sustained airline demand, fleet renewal programs, and the industry’s ongoing shift toward more fuel‑efficient aircraft.
