Airbus has kept its target of about 870 commercial aircraft deliveries in 2026 after reporting a stronger first half, with 351 jets handed over between January and June, up from 306 a year earlier. The European planemaker also posted €33.2 billion in revenue and €2.7 billion in adjusted EBIT for the period, while reaffirming its full-year goals for profitability and cash flow.
The guidance remains subject to no further disruption to global trade, the economy, air traffic, supply chains or Airbus’s own operations. It also incorporates currently applicable tariffs and is set before any mergers or acquisitions. Alongside deliveries, Airbus is targeting about €7.5 billion in adjusted EBIT and about €4.5 billion in free cash flow before customer financing for the full year.
Management retained the annual outlook despite the need for a much stronger second half to meet the delivery target. Reuters-syndicated coverage described Airbus as having a high degree of confidence in the goal after a solid second quarter, as the company’s production ramp continues to recover from earlier supply and engine constraints.
