Airbus said on Wednesday it delivered 56 aircraft in April, down 8% from the same month of last year. The tally brings deliveries so far this year to 192 aircraft, down 5% from the same point in 2024. The European planemaker last week reaffirmed a target of 820 commercial deliveries for the whole year, up 7%, despite delays in receiving engines - a situation that it said would get worse during the current quarter before stabilising in the summer.
