Overview

• Airbus delivered 766 aircraft in 2024, a 4% increase from 2023, but narrowly missed its revised goal of 770 planes due to ongoing supply chain disruptions.
• Boeing's deliveries plummeted by 34% in 2024, with only 341 jets delivered, reflecting continued challenges in recovering from internal crises and supply issues.
• Airbus secured 826 net orders in 2024, far below its record 2,094 orders in 2023, but maintains a robust backlog of 8,658 planes, equivalent to 10 years of production at current rates.
• Brazilian manufacturer Embraer achieved its delivery target with 73 planes, while China's Comac delivered 12 C919 jets domestically and is pursuing European certification to expand globally.
• The aviation industry remains constrained by post-pandemic supply chain challenges, but Airbus expressed optimism for a production ramp-up in 2025 as demand for new aircraft persists.
