Airbus delivered 69 commercial aircraft in March 2025, reaching a quarterly total of 132 aircraft. This represents a slight decline compared to the first quarter of 2024. Boeing, by comparison, had a total of 130 deliveries for the quarter, having delivered 41 aircraft in March.
"Neither Airbus nor Boeing have published official March figures," but aviation analytics company Cirium estimates that Airbus’ deliveries included 33 A321s, 18 A320s, 10 A220s, six A350-900s, and two A330-900s. This marks a 9.5% increase in March deliveries year-on-year. If confirmed, Airbus’ first-quarter deliveries would show a 7% decrease from the same period in the previous year. Historically, Airbus achieves 20% of its annual deliveries in the first quarter, and current results would set it on a trajectory for 660 aircraft, below the 820 target.
Airbus mentioned its deliveries were affected by slow engine deliveries, notably the CFM Leap engines for A320 family aircraft. Cirium's analysis shows that 43 A320 family aircraft are assembled but awaiting engines, while over 70 have advanced past the final assembly stage but have not flown. Cirium anticipates that 43 of these will require Leap engines.
