Airbus 2024 Deliveries Reach 256 Jets With 8579 In Backlog

May proved to be another steady month of progress for Airbus, delivering 53 aircraft to bring the year-to-date total at the end of the month to 256 jets. It is still a steep climb to the 800 that CEO Guillaume Faury confirmed it would deliver this year, but there is plenty of time as the year gains momentum in the second half.
