Airbus needs over 320 more deliveries to hit 2024 target as September output reaches 72

Airbus shares were trading at €188.78 and the company delivered 72 aircraft in September, bringing the total for the first nine months of the year to 547 aircraft.

The annual delivery target of about 870 aircraft requires more than 320 aircraft to leave the factories in the final three months of the year. Avolon placed a firm order for 110 aircraft, including 75 A320neo and 35 A330‑900, raising its total order book to roughly 650 A320‑family and 114 A330‑900 units. A new consolidated plant in Cádiz now employs 750 people, and component output for the A320 line is set to rise until 2027, for the A350 until 2028 and for the A330 until 2029.
