Hi there All,
Airbus and Boeing introduced their first-half 2025 deliveries. This weblog put up briefly analyzes the outcomes and compares them with earlier years.
Engine supply delays delay Airbus’ ramp-up plans additional
The desk beneath reveals the primary half deliveries and compares them with the earlier yr’s tally:
Complete deliveries have been decrease than in 2024 H1 and 2023 H1 (316 complete). It’s largely attributable to the Leap 1A engine supply delays and long-haul enterprise class seat delays. Deliveries for the A320 have been across the 2021 degree (230 items). The A220 ramp-up couldn’t compensate. It will be tough for Airbus to fulfill its yearly supply goal of 820 items.
The A220, A320, and A330 applications have delivered plane at round 50% of the long-term manufacturing objective. The A350 was at 30%, with first-half deliveries flat over the past three years.
Boeing is recovering from final yr’s catastrophe
Under is the equal desk for Boeing:
Boeing’s deliveries have been higher than final yr. They recovered near the 2023 ranges on the 737 (209 vs. 216); they have been greater than over the 2020-2024 interval for the 767 and 777 traces, and on the 2020 ranges for the Dreamliner (37 vs. 36).
Word that manufacturing charges are decrease as a result of Boeing delivered 35 737 MAXes and 11 787s from legacy stock. As of 2025-06-30, Boeing nonetheless had 24 737 MAXes and 15 Dreamliners from legacy stock to be delivered.
Supply charges are nearer to Boeing’s long-term manufacturing price targets, hovering between 60% and 70%. After stabilizing its manufacturing through the first half of 2025, the American OEM wants to take care of stability and efficiently ramp up manufacturing.
