Airbus may have had a record year, but the political winds in Washington still seem to be blowing in Boeing’s favour. European aerospace leaders are keeping a close eye on US President Donald Trump’s plans to double down on defence and domestic industry expenditure. The stats themselves are good for Airbus, even enviable. The group sold 793 commercial planes in 2025, bringing in €73.4 billion in revenue, a 6% increase, and an adjusted operating profit of €7.1 billion.
2025 was a landmark year for us,” said CEO Guillaume Faury in a statement. “There was very strong demand for our products and services across all businesses, we had a record financial performance, and we reached strategic milestones.””We successfully navigated a complex and dynamic operating environment to deliver on our updated guidance,” he went on.
But supply chain problems, transatlantic politics, and engine shortages, which are all too common, put a damper on the party spirit. The business made €5.2 billion in net income and suggested a dividend of €3.20 per share. Before client financing, free cash flow was €4.6 billion.
Airbus shares fell by 6.9% on Thursday afternoon, trading at €186.9 per share. Trump’s effort to sell Boeing planes as part of bigger trade-for-diplomacy deals makes the predicted production pressures even worse.
