PARIS (Reuters) – Airbus delivered 766 planes in 2024, up 4%, and looked certain to remain the world’s largest jetmaker for the sixth year in a row as rival Boeing recovers cautiously from a prolonged internal crisis, company data showed on Thursday.
Confirming a figure previously reported by Reuters, Airbus fell fractionally short of a headline target of “around 770” jets but was expected to claim victory after leaving itself a margin for error as supply chains remain in turmoil. It also posted 878 gross orders or a net 826 after cancellations.
