In a monumental milestone for the company, European aerospace manufacturer Airbus has surpassed 16,000 aircraft deliveries in its latest performance update.
Airbus confirmed on March 7, 2025, that since its inception, 16,028 aircraft have now been delivered with the 16,000th plane (an A321neo) seemingly going to British low-cost airline Jet2 through a lease arrangement with ICBS Leasing.
Details surrounding the landmark event were included in Airbus’ February 2025 orders and delivery update which saw 25 customers receive brand new aircraft.
Customers receiving new aircraft in February 2025 included Delta Air Lines, China Eastern Airlines, British Airways and Air France.
According to Airbus, 40 aircraft were delivered in February 2025, and 14 new orders were made, including six A321neos from Korean Air and eight A321neos from an undisclosed customer.

In February 2024, Airbus delivered 49 aircraft to 28 customers, revealing a slight drop in its output this year.
And in January 2025, the company delivered 25 aircraft to 17 customers, compared to 30 deliveries to 18 customers in January 2024.
Earlier this month Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Airbus, Guillaume Faury, said the company was targeting “around 820” commercial jet deliveries in 2025.
This represents an increase of just over 7% over the number delivered in 2024 which itself fell just short of Airbus’ initial forecast of 770 for the year.
