Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 29 July 2026 – Airbus SE (stock exchange symbol: AIR) reported consolidated financial results for the Half-Year (H1) ended 30 June 2026.
“Our good H1 results mainly reflect the higher level of commercial aircraft deliveries and strong performance in Defence and Space, against the backdrop of a complex and fast-changing environment,” said Guillaume Faury, Airbus Chief Executive Officer. “We are ramping up across all businesses to meet the growing demand for our civil and military solutions. Our focus on steady execution is paying off, as demonstrated by strong deliveries in Q2. This fuels our confidence in our future performance, as reflected in the recently-communicated mid-term outlook.”
Gross commercial aircraft orders totalled 886 (H1 2025: 494 aircraft) with net orders of 821 aircraft after cancellations (H1 2025: 402 aircraft). The order backlog amounted to 9,222(1) commercial aircraft at the end of June 2026. Airbus Helicopters registered net orders totalling 215 units (H1 2025: 171 units), with an order backlog of 1,108 units at the end of June 2026. Airbus Defence and Space saw very strong commercial momentum, with order intake value reaching € 9.3 billion (H1 2025: € 5.1 billion).
Consolidated revenues increased 12% year-on-year to € 33.2 billion (H1 2025: € 29.6 billion). A total of 351 commercial aircraft were delivered (H1 2025: 306 aircraft), comprising 44 A220s, 271 A320 Family, 10 A330s and 26 A350s. Revenues generated by Airbus’ commercial aircraft activities increased 15% to € 23.9 billion, mainly reflecting the higher deliveries and increased services, partially offset by the US dollar’s depreciation compared to H1 2025. Airbus Helicopters’ deliveries increased to 144 units (H1 2025: 138 units) with revenues broadly stable at € 3.7 billion, reflecting a less favourable delivery mix in the first half of 2026. Revenues at Airbus Defence and Space increased 9% year-on-year to € 6.3 billion, driven by higher volumes across all business units.
Consolidated EBIT Adjusted – an alternativeperformance measure and key indicator capturing the underlying business margin by excluding material charges or profits caused by movements in provisions related to programmes, restructuring or foreign exchange impacts as well as capital gains/losses from the disposal and acquisition of businesses – totalled € 2,727 million (H1 2025: € 2,204 million).
