Airbus (OTCPK:EADSF [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/EADSF]) (OTCPK:EADSY [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/EADSY]) delivered about 78 aircraft in October, Bloomberg News reported Monday, citing people familiar with the data, as the European manufacturer continues to push toward its annual goal despite ongoing component shortages.

The October figure brings total deliveries for 2025 to roughly 585 aircraft, leaving the company with the challenge of handing over another 235 planes before year-end to meet its target of 820. The figures remain preliminary, and final numbers may shift when officially published.

An Airbus (OTCPK:EADSF [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/EADSF]) (OTCPK:EADSY [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/EADSY]) spokesperson declined to comment to Bloomberg News on the tally.

The company reiterated its 2025 delivery target last month, even as shortages of engines forced it to store completed A320-family jets awaiting installation, a situation often referred to internally as “gliders.” Chief Executive Guillaume Faury has previously said that production and deliveries are weighted heavily toward the final months of the year as Airbus (OTCPK:EADSF [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/EADSF]) (OTCPK:EADSY [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/EADSY]) continues to navigate supply chain bottlenecks that have slowed its ramp-up.
