EgyptAir Airbus A350-900
Airbus endured another weak month in February, delivering only 35 aircraft to 21 customers. Of these, 25 were A320neo family aircraft. This year, the European airframer has delivered 54 aircraft, leaving 10 months to meet its full-year target of 870 deliveries. Airbus had a slow start in January with just 19 deliveries.

The  A220-300 recovered from three deliveries in January to eight deliveries in February. Three aircraft were for Breeze Airways. This brings deliveries to 11 YTD.
The A320neo saw four deliveries, including two for Frontier. Twenty-one A321neo (plus variants) were delivered, of which five were to Delta Air Lines. A320neo family deliveries stand at 40 (9 A320neo and 31 A321neo) for the first two months, compared to 50 in 2025. We must factor in that some aircraft will require rework of a forward fuselage panel produced to the wrong specifications.
Pratt & Whitney
For February, we count 15 A321neos and three A320neos delivered with Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan engines, making 18 of the total of 25. This indicates that either Airbus had a buffer of GTFs ready for installation or P&W had adequate supplies available.
CEO Guillaume Faury said during the full-year results presentation on February 19 that Airbus is exercising its contractual rights because P&W is short on engine deliveries. P&W said it is offering a mix of engines to Airbus and keeping the in-service fleet flying.
Airbus also delivered one A350-900 (the first to EgyptAir) and one A350-1000 in February, bringing total deliveries for the type this year to just three, matching the first two months of 2025. This also confirms that the A350 program is performing well below expectations. Last year saw 57 deliveries, or not even five aircraft per month.
In 2025, Airbus also suffered a slow start, but was at 65 deliveries by late February. The panel rework, engine supplies, and the integration of the A220 and A350 work packages from Spirit AeroSystems will determine whether Airbus can meet the 870-delivery target.
Orders
The airframer recorded 28 gross orders in February: five A320neos and 20 A321neos for Air Astana, two A321neos for Tigerair, and one A320neo for a private customer. Without cancellations, net orders stand at 77 year to date, up from 65 in the same period last year.
With Boeing selling 787s like hot cakes, the sole A330-900 sale of 2026 so far to Air Algérie is not what Airbus’s sales teams had in mind.
