Airbus delivered around 72 aircraft in September, according to sources, exceeding the estimated deliveries by analysts. The official delivery total will be confirmed in a monthly industrial bulletin due on October 8.
The estimated deliveries by analysts ranged from the mid to high 60s, with Jefferies analysts specifically estimating 68 deliveries. However, Airbus declined to comment on the provisional delivery total ahead of the official confirmation.
The delivery total of around 72 aircraft is a significant milestone for the company, indicating a pick-up in pace despite concerns about delays in the system. The company has been dealing with issues such as industrial glitches involving parts for the A321neo, as well as existing shortages of engines and other parts.
## What it means The higher-than-expected delivery total is a positive sign for Airbus, suggesting that the company is making progress in addressing its production challenges. The official confirmation of the delivery total on October 8 will provide further insight into the company's performance.
The delivery total is also a significant indicator of the company's ability to meet demand and maintain its production schedule. With the global aviation industry continuing to recover from the pandemic, the ability of aircraft manufacturers like Airbus to deliver planes on time is crucial for airlines and other customers.
