Airbus delivered 81 aircraft to 45 customers in May 2026, bringing its year-to-date total to 262 and keeping its 2026 delivery target within reach.
The company also reported 379 gross orders in the month, according to its May orders-and-deliveries update posted on June 5. Airbus said the May performance followed earlier monthly delivery disclosures this year and marked a stronger pace than its earlier 2026 run rate.
The update is the latest operational snapshot from the European planemaker’s commercial aircraft division and gives a current view of delivery momentum at the end of May. Airbus has not changed the verified delivery figures in the research file, which show 262 aircraft delivered so far in 2026.
The monthly data matters because Airbus uses these orders-and-deliveries disclosures to track progress against its full-year delivery goal, with May’s figures showing continued improvement in the pace of aircraft handovers.
