Airbus maintains its market leadership with over 1,000 net orders year-to-date, despite ongoing production ramp-up challenges. July deliveries were flat year-on-year at 67 units, with A330 deliveries paused due to a foreign object issue, now resolved. EADSF’s book-to-bill ratio remains robust at 2.6x year-to-date, reflecting strong demand and order inflow across both single-aisle and wide-body segments. While supply chain and production risks persist, Airbus is slightly ahead of its 2026 delivery target and demonstrates potential for further output increases.
