# Airbus Needs About 249 More Deliveries to Reach 2026 Guidance By John Kim Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/business/52488 Published: 2026-11-09T18:42:16.000Z Updated: 2026-11-09T18:42:16.000Z Section: Business > The company delivered 74 commercial aircraft in October, bringing its total through Oct. 31 to 621. Airbus needs about 249 commercial aircraft deliveries in November and December to reach its 2026 goal of around 870, a pace of nearly 125 a month after it delivered 74 planes in October. The company had delivered 621 aircraft to 91 customers through Oct. 31. October's deliveries went to 45 customers. The remaining total is an estimate based on subtracting 621 from the approximate annual goal; it is not a separate company forecast. Airbus delivered 72 aircraft in September, bringing its total for the first nine months to 547 ([September delivery report]()). October's 74 deliveries brought the year-to-date count to 621. Airbus reaffirmed its 2026 outlook in results published Oct. 28. CEO Guillaume Faury said, “Against a complex geopolitical and operating environment, we are focused on delivery while maintaining a steadfast focus on quality.” The forecast depends on Airbus avoiding fresh setbacks affecting trade, the economy, air travel, suppliers, internal operations or its ability to complete deliveries. The November and December delivery totals will determine whether the company reaches its approximate annual goal. ## Links in this article - [September delivery report](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/business/28433)
