Airbus delivered 351 airplanes in ​the first half of the year, up around 15% from 306 in the same period of ‌2025, ⁠after handing ⁠over 89 jets in June, the European planemaker ​said on Wednesday.

The figures, which confirm a Reuters ​report of 89 deliveries in June, mean Airbus is broadly on track to ​meet a full-year target of ⁠870 deliveries, ‌according to analyst estimates.

Reuters reported ​on ​Monday that the world's largest planemaker ⁠was increasingly confident of reaching an ​informal goal of 900 deliveries while ​leaving its official guidance intact.

Still, supply chain hurdles remain, and while engine availability improves, earlier shortages - along with holdups on jets bound for China - dragged on Airbus' ‌first-quarter performance, giving U.S. rival Boeing an edge in deliveries.

Delivery rates ​at Airbus ​typically tick ⁠up in the second half of the year.

The Toulouse, France-based group also said in its ​monthly report that it sold 887 aircraft from January to June or a net total of 822 after adjusting for cancellations.
