Airbus declined to comment ahead of the publication of delivery numbers on Tuesday and quarterly results on Wednesday.

The October tally, which also accelerated from 55 aircraft in September, brings total deliveries so far this year to 559 units compared with a full-year target of 720.

It is in line with a forecast of 71 aircraft by analysts at Jefferies, which said the higher pace of deliveries had “further de-risked” the 2023 delivery target after Airbus downgraded and eventually abandoned delivery goals last year amid supply woes.
