Airbus releases 2022 full-year commercial aircraft orders, deliveries

Airbus SE (Toulouse, France) has announced its 2022 commercial aircraft order and delivery summary (numbers valid at the end of December 2022). Last year, the aerospace giant delivered delivered 661* commercial aircraft to 84 customers in 2022 and registered 1,078 gross new orders. Airbus’ end December 2022 backlog stood at 7,239 aircraft. 

“In 2022 we served 84 customers with 661 deliveries, an increase of 8% compared to 2021. That’s obviously less than we were targeting, but given the complexity of the operating environment, I want to thank the teams and our partners for the hard work and the ultimate result,” Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO, notes. “The significant order intake covering all our aircraft families including freighters, reflects the strength and competitiveness of our product line. We continue our ramp-up trajectory to deliver on our backlog.” (See “Airbus announces update to 2022 aircraft delivery target.”)
