Airbus: Weak Deliveries Raise Questions About The 2026 Target

Airbus maintains a massive 8,800-aircraft backlog, but production ramp-up challenges persist despite strong demand. February orders reached 28 aircraft, higher year-on-year, yet wide-body order momentum remains weak and order value has declined. Deliveries lag, with only 54 units in the first two months—down 17% year-on-year—casting doubt on the 2026 delivery target of 870.
