Airbus SE delivered more aircraft than expected last year,
retaining its crown as the world's biggest commercial-aircraft
maker.
The European plane maker said Monday that it had delivered 611
commercial aircraft in 2021, above its full-year target of 600 and
an improvement on the 566 jets it delivered in 2020.
December deliveries amounted to 93 aircraft, compared with 58 in
November and 36 in October.
The result means Airbus remains the world's biggest
commercial-aircraft maker. Through November, its main rival Boeing
Co. had delivered 302 aircraft to customers. Boeing hasn't yet
reported deliveries for the full year.
"The year saw significant orders from airlines worldwide,
signaling confidence in the sustainable growth of air travel
post-Covid" Airbus Chief Executive Guillaume Faury said.
"While uncertainties remain, we are on track to lift production
through 2022 to meet our customers' requirements. At the same time,
we are preparing the future of aviation, transforming our
industrial capabilities and implementing the roadmap for
decarbonization," Mr. Faury added.
Airbus also said Monday that it had booked 771 gross new
commercial orders last year.
