TOULOUSE - Airbus delivered 507 aircraft during the first nine months of 2025, meaning it must hand over about 313 more in the final quarter to reach its annual goal of 820.

The company recorded a strong September with 73 deliveries, the highest ever for that month, helped by improved engine availability. Earlier in the year, several jets had been completed but were awaiting engines, though this backlog has since eased. The improvement follows earlier disruptions caused by a strike at engine supplier CFM and heightened airline demand for spare parts, both of which had slowed deliveries earlier in the year.

SEATTLE - Boeing has resumed flight testing of its only 737 -7 development aircraft after being stored for more than two years, marking a significant step forward in the company’s efforts to certify both the 737 -7 and 737 -10 variants.

The program had been delayed due to the redesign of the engine anti-ice system and related nacelle components, which required extensive work and regulatory coordination. Boeing now reports that progress on the redesign is moving steadily, with the company working closely with the FAA to complete certification testing. The reactivation of the 737 -7 reflects Boeing’s push to finalize approval and begin deliveries of the two remaining MAX variants, which are expected to enter service in 2026.
