Airbus Deliveries Dip in November
Airbus, a big airplane company, delivered fewer planes in November because of some problems.
They need to deliver a lot more in December to meet their goal for the year.
They also got some new orders, but not as many as their competitor, Boeing.
Airbus is still doing better than Boeing in deliveries, but Boeing is getting more new orders.
Airbus had to fix some issues with their planes, like problems with the metal parts and a computer bug.
Even with these problems, Airbus is still the biggest plane maker in the world.
Airbus delivered 72 planes in November, down from 78 in October and 84 in November 2023.
Airbus needs to deliver 133 planes in December to meet its revised 2025 goal of 790 planes.
Airbus cut its full-year commercial delivery target by 4% to around 790 jets, down from around 820.
Airbus booked 75 new orders in November, bringing the total to 797 for the year, or a net 700 after cancellations.
Airbus deliveries remain ahead of Boeing, but Airbus is lagging behind on new orders.
