Simple Flying reports that Airbus must deliver 99 aircraft per month through the end of the year to meet its 2026 delivery target.

The report indicates this will be another year-end sprint, underlining the intense delivery pressure facing the manufacturer.

Such a target involves a substantial number of aircraft deliveries, and much of the industry and investors will track its eventual progress against official data.

Airbus delivery performance is a key indicator for the aviation sector and its shareholders.

The report's projection reflects its plans for production and delivery in the second half, but achievement remains subject to the company's subsequent manufacturing and delivery data.
