Airbus Needs 249 Jets to Hit Target

Airbus delivered 74 aircraft in October 2026, bringing its year-to-date total to 621 — below the pace needed for its annual goal. The planemaker ($EADSY) now needs to deliver 249 more jets in November and December to reach its target of roughly 870 aircraft for the year. That bar is 20% higher than the 208 planes it delivered over the same two months last year, when it closed 2025 with 72 in November and 136 in December.
