Airbus has delivered 35 commercial aircraft to 21 customers in February 2026, down from 40 deliveries in the same month last year. The European OEM delivered 19 aircraft in January 2026.
Deliveries consisted of 33 narrowbodies and two widebodies. This included eight A220s and 25 A320neo family jets. The company delivered one A350-900 to EGYPTAIR and one A350-1000 to Japan Airlines during the month.
The company has delivered a total 54 aircraft to 27 customers in the first two months of 2026. Last month, the OEM said it aims to deliver around 870 aircraft this year.
The tempered guidance was driven by issues with engines, specifically Pratt & Whitney.
“On the A320 family, Pratt & Whitney's failure to commit to the number of engines ordered by Airbus is negatively impacting this year's delivery guidance and the ramp-up trajectory into next year,” said Airbus CEO and executive director Guillaume Faury during its earnings call on February 19.
The company had been targeting a monthly output rate of 75 aircraft per month on the A320 line by 2027.
“We now expect to reach a rate of between 70 and 75 aircraft a month by the end of 2027, stabilizing at rate 75 thereafter,” said Faury.
He said this was a “consequence” of Pratt & Whitney delivery delays.
Last year, Airbus delivered a total of 793 commercial aircraft, meeting its revised guidance. The initial guidance had projected around 820 deliveries, but supplier quality issues on fuselage panels had impacted delivery projections for the A320 family jets.
The company recorded 28 orders in February 2026, including 25 A320neo family jets from Air Astana, two A321neos from Tigerair Taiwan, and one A320neo from a private customer.
