In 2024, Airbus achieved 766 commercial aircraft deliveries to 86 customers around the world, up from 735 the previous year. They include 602 in the A320 family.
The Commercial Aircraft business registered 878 gross new orders. As a result, its 2024 year end backlog stood at 8,658 aircraft.
Key landmarks in deliveries included the introduction of the A321XLR to Iberia, Aer Lingus having lost its position as launch customer due to a pilot strike, and first deliveries of A330neo and A350 to various global customers.
Christian Scherer, CEO Commercial Aircraft at Airbus shared, “2024 confirmed sustained demand for new aircraft. We won key customer decisions with most important customers and saw phenomenal momentum for our widebody orderbook, complementing our leading position in the single aisle market. On deliveries, we kept our trajectory and celebrated several landmark firsts. These include the first ever A321XLR as well as first A330neo and A350 deliveries to several customers globally.”
