“In 2022, we served 84 customers with 661 deliveries, an increase of 8 percent 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 Guillaume Faury, Airbus Chief Executive Officer. “The significant order intake covering all our aircraft families, including freighters, reflects the strength and competitiveness of our product line. We continue our ramp-up trajectory to deliver on our backlog,” the planemaker stated in the press release.
Airbus equally won 1,078 new orders (820 net) across all programs 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 the program, the A220 won 127 firm gross new orders. The A320neo Family won 888 gross new orders. In the widebody segment, Airbus won 63 gross new orders, including 19 A330s and 44 A350s, of which 24 were for the newly launched A350F.
