Airbus Leads Global Aircraft Market with 766 Deliveries in 2024

Despite falling short of its revised target, Airbus outpaced Boeing and maintained its position as the world's top jetmaker for the sixth consecutive year.

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.
