Airbus reported an order for 150 A220-300 aircraft from AirAsia in its May 2026 commercial aircraft performance update, the newest development in a month that also saw 379 gross orders and 81 deliveries.
The AirAsia commitment was disclosed on June 1 and dated to May 28, making it the freshest element in Airbus’s monthly tally. The order adds to the manufacturer’s commercial backlog momentum at a time when the company has been targeting record aircraft deliveries in 2026.
Airbus’s May results show deliveries spread across 45 customers, with aircraft from the A220, A320neo-family, A330neo and A350 programmes included in the month. The company had said earlier that it was aiming to deliver around 870 commercial aircraft this year.
The May figures underscore the continuing importance of single-aisle and smaller twin-aisle demand in Airbus’s industrial cadence, while the AirAsia deal provides a clear order highlight within the monthly performance data.
