Airbus needs to deliver 161 aircraft in the last two months of the year to reach its full-year delivery target, fractionally below the performance seen in the closing stages of last year, company data showed on Tuesday.
In a monthly bulletin, the planemaker confirmed it had delivered 71 aircraft in October, up 18% from the same month last year and bringing the total for the first 10 months to 559 jets, as earlier reported by Reuters.
In the final two months of 2022, Airbus delivered 166 jets.
Orders so far this year have reached 1,399 aircraft or a net total of 1,334 units after cancellations, Airbus said.
