TOULOUSE (Jan 10): Airbus SE delivered 661 commercial aircraft in 2022, up 8% from a year earlier, and registered 1,078 gross new orders, said the aircraft manufacturer in a statement on Tuesday (Jan 10).

Airbus’ end December 2022 backlog stood at 7,239 aircraft.

“In 2022, we served 84 customers with 661 deliveries, an increase of 8% compared to 2021.  

“That’s obviously less than we were targeting, but given the complexity of the operating environment, I want to thank the teams and our partners for the hard work and the ultimate result,” said Airbus chief executive officer Guillaume Faury. 

Faury said the significant order intake, including all its aircraft families such as freighters, reflects the strength and competitiveness of its product line.  

Airbus equally won 1,078 new orders (820 net) across all programmes and market segments, including several high-profile commitments from some of the world’s leading carriers. In aircraft units, Airbus recorded a net book-to-bill ratio significantly above one.

Per programme, the A220 won 127 firm gross new orders. The A320neo family won 888 gross new orders. In the wide-body segment, Airbus won 63 gross new orders, including 19 A330s and 44 A350s, of which 24 were for the newly launched A350F.

The full-year financial results for 2022 will be disclosed on Feb 16.
