Airbus has released its order and delivery statistics for January 2025, reporting the delivery of 25 aircraft. This included three A220-300 and two A321neo jets to airlines based in the United States.

The company's records show that the first delivery of the month was an A321neo to China Southern Airlines on January 2. Subsequent deliveries occurred on January 14, with an A319neo and an A320neo going to West Air and easyJet, respectively.

In January, JetBlue received two A220-300 aircraft. The airline has stated it will focus on this model as part of its 'JetForward' strategy while deferring A321neo deliveries to 2030 and beyond. Delta Air Lines also added another A220-300 to its fleet; this aircraft was constructed in Mobile, Alabama, and joined Delta's fleet on January 30.

United Airlines was the only U.S. airline to take delivery of aircraft from the A320neo family during this period. The carrier received one A321neo each on January 28 and January 30, increasing its total count of such models to 31 according to ch-aviation's data.

Besides these deliveries, Airbus handed over two additional widebody aircraft: Emirates received a second A350-900 following its initial delivery in November 2024, while Japan Airlines expanded its fleet with another A350-1000.

Airbus reported adding 55 gross orders to its backlog in January. After canceling one order for an A220-100 and three for the A320neo series, net orders increased by 51 units during the month.

Among disclosed transactions were five new orders for STARLUX Airlines' purchase of more A350F aircraft and Lufthansa's formal addition of five previously announced A350-1000s into Airbus’ records. Carsten Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa Group, remarked that "with the state-of-the-art A350 long-haul jets, we are accelerating the largest fleet modernization the Group has done so far."

Additionally, there were undisclosed orders including one unidentified customer purchasing a single A321neo on January 2 and another anonymous buyer acquiring 25 units of the same model on January 15. In terms of widebody sales agreements signed by undisclosed clients included ten for the A330-900 series along with three each for both versions -A350F & -900 respectively.

January saw a decline compared with December’s performance when Airbus delivered significantly more at total numbers reaching up towards their year-end goals; having set out initially aiming high but later revising targets downwards amidst challenges faced throughout previous year cycles ending slightly short or meeting expectations depending upon interpretations around approximations made therein.
