• Cirium Ascend Consultancy has reduced its 2025 Airbus/Boeing commercial aircraft delivery forecast by 3% to 1,380 shipments, as year-to-date volumes indicate a lower full-year total. H1 Airbus deliveries were 6% below the same period last year but has maintained its full-year target of 820 deliveries, 7% higher than 2024.
• Base Value changes introduced by Cirium this month are net positive for both single-aisles and twin-aisles on a fleet-weighted average basis. Twin-aisles are experiencing the greater increases, particularly the 777-300ER.
• Tracking data for international cargo flights reveals a sustained decline in markets touching North America since mid-May, amid ongoing global tariff uncertainties. IATA’s May data confirms air cargo demand between Asia and North America fell by 10.7%, with North American carriers experiencing the sharpest declines.
