Airbus had its best month of deliveries in July with 77 aircraft sent to its customers, 12 more than in the same month of 2023.
The growth led the planemaker to reach 400 commercial jets delivered in 2024, an increase of 5% compared to the same period of months last year.
The good result made it more possible to reach the annual target of 770 aircraft delivered, a revision of the original guidance, which predicted a total of 800 commercial jets.

The A321neo and A320neo had another good month with 32 and 24 deliveries while the smaller A319neo registered the first two jets sent to the company’s customers.
The A220 family, produced in America, has accumulated 35 aircraft delivered, five more than in 2023.
Among the widebodies, the situation is also positive, with 18 A330-900s and 23 A350-900s delivered, five more than in 2023. Only the A350-1000 remains below last year, with five aircraft compared to eight in 2023.
Order for 15 A321neos by undisclosed customer
July orders totaled 59 aircraft, including agreements announced during the Farnborough Airshow for 11 A321neos and 10 A350-900s by Japan Airlines, six A320neos by Berniq Airways and seven A330-900s for Virgin Atlantic.
The British airline, however, withdrew some A350-1000 orders from its portfolio. It had eight aircraft on order, six of which had already been delivered, but the two pending aircraft were not included in Airbus’s report.
In addition, the manufacturer entered an order for 15 A321neos from an undisclosed customer.
VietJet’s order for 20 A330-900s was identified after being listed as an agreement with an undisclosed customer in May.
