Airbus delivered 67 commercial aircraft in April, bringing its total for the first four months of 2026 to 181 jets. This represents a 2.7% decline from the 186 aircraft handed over in the same period of 2025, according to the manufacturers monthly order and delivery data.
April deliveries included 32 A321neos, 22 A320neos, five A220-300s, and one A319neo. Widebody handovers comprised one A330-200, two A330-900s, three A350-900s, and one A350-1000. Through April, Airbus delivered 24 A220 family aircraft, 136 A320 family jets, one A330-200, five A330-900s, 11 A350-900s, and four A350-1000s. Twin-aisle deliveries reached 21 aircraft, up from 13 a year earlier.
The manufacturer recorded 28 gross orders in April, including five aircraft for Scoot comprising four A320neos and one A321neo, but posted a net gain of seven after 21 cancellations and adjustments. The commercial aircraft backlog rose slightly to 25,915 at the end of April.
Supply chain issues, particularly Pratt & Whitney engine shortages and paperwork delays, contributed to the slower pace, though problems in China have been resolved. Airbus aims for around 870 deliveries for the full year.
