IBA sees aircraft deliveries picking up in 2026

Aviation consultancy IBA expects (https://ukaviation.news/iba-forecasts-1800-aircraft-deliveries-in-2026-as-airline-outlook-stabilises/) global aircraft deliveries to rise in 2026 as the airline industry settles into a more stable rhythm after several turbulent years. Improving economic conditions and gradually smoother production lines are giving airlines more confidence to plan ahead.

Both major manufacturers are expected to play a key role, with a renewed focus on clearing backlogs and keeping output steady. While challenges remain, the outlook suggests a slow but reliable return to growth, with airlines prioritizing efficiency and long-term fleet planning.
