Airbus Increased Deliveries in September

Toulouse, France — The world's largest aircraft manufacturer Airbus increased deliveries again in September.

In the past month, 55 commercial jets were handed over to customers, the European group - whose shares are traded in France, Spain and Germany - announced in Toulouse on Monday evening. That was 16 more than in August.

In the first three quarters of 2022 the company delivered 437 aircraft. However, this is only 62% of the annual target of 700 jets, so the manufacturer will have to step-up production before the end of December.

Delivery figures usually pick up significantly towards the end of the year. However, Airbus has already had to say goodbye to the 720 deliveries originally targeted for 2022 due to supply-chain problems.

Meanwhile, the company received new orders for 13 aircraft in September, but also had to accept three cancellations.
