Airbus ended last year with 826 net orders, having delivered a total of 766 aircraft – just shy of the 770 target it had set.
The airframer took orders for four long-haul jets in December – three A330-900s for Air Algerie plus a single A350-900 for an undisclosed customer.
Air Algerie, however, appears to have cancelled a pair of A350-900s previously in Airbus’s backlog.
The airframer also recorded an order for 75 A320neo-family aircraft, plus a separate deal for 10 more, both allocated to unidentified customers.
Airbus’s orders for the month included three A320neos for Royal Jet, and seven A220s – of which five are for Air Canada.
Thirteen A320neos which were part of an order for Colombian carrier Viva Air, before the airline ceased operations in 2023, have been removed from the airframer’s backlog.
Airbus handed over 123 aircraft in December.
Its overall deliveries for the year comprised 57 A350s, 32 A330s and 602 A320neo-family jets, plus 75 A220s. Among the deliveries was the first example of the long-range A321XLR.
