Net orders of only seven aircraft
The manufacturer booked 28 gross commercial aircraft orders in April but recorded a net gain of only seven aircraft after accounting for 21 cancellations and adjustments in its backlog.
The new orders included six undisclosed A321neos, 15 undisclosed A350-900s, five aircraft for Scoot comprising four A320neos and one A321neo, and two undisclosed A220-300s.
Changes in Airbus’ detailed backlog tables also indicated several customer reallocations and portfolio transfers during the month.
The largest movement involved Air Lease Corporation and SMBC Aviation Capital. Airbus’ backlog data showed 31 A220-300s, 122 A321neos, two A320neos and one A330-900 shifting from Air Lease Corporation to SMBC Aviation Capital.
The data also showed two A320neo aircraft moving from BOC Aviation to Transavia France.
Four A320neo positions previously listed as undisclosed appeared to shift to CMB Financial Leasing, Frontier Airlines and ICBC Leasing.
The backlog tables also pointed to one A220-300 cancellation, likely tied to Macquarie Financial Holdings, and 20 A321neo cancellations within the undisclosed customer category.
Airbus’ total commercial aircraft backlog edged up from 25,908 aircraft in March to 25,915 at the end of April.
