Airbus will need to hand over close to 100 aircraft each month to customers in the remainder of 2025 — considerably more than at any point so far this year — if the European plane-maker wants to achieve its ambitious delivery target.

The company delivered 61 aircraft in August, Airbus said on Friday, bringing the number to date to 434 units. That’s less than the 67 achieved in July, and below a peak of 71 in March.

Airbus has maintained its target of about about 820 planes in 2025, though CEO Guillaume Faury acknowledged in June that global volatility and constraints on getting parts have made the goal “a little bit more difficult”.
