Airbus's October 2026 deliveries
Airbus's 74 October deliveries are added, which brings Airbus to 621 for 2026 and the chart to 52,596 aircraft. Boeing's October deliveries are not yet available, so Boeing's figures run through September.
Historical Airliner Deliveries was first published on October 19, 2026. This page lists what has changed since then, newest update first: new ways to read the chart, data added or corrected, and fixes. Each entry links to the change in the chart.
The November 2026 update
Published November 6, 2026. This is the chart's first update since launch, and it carries everything that has changed since October 19 together with Airbus's October deliveries.
Updated data
Engines for every A350 and A330neo
All 948 A350 and A330neo deliveries through October 2026 now carry their engine. Each of those aircraft has a single engine option, so the engine is known from the airframe: Trent XWB-84 on the A350-900, Trent XWB-97 on the A350-1000 and Trent 7000 on the A330-800 and A330-900.
Braniff International Airways
Braniff's 128 aircraft, delivered 1959–1980, now carry the airline's own name, Braniff International Airways, in place of the manufacturers' label "Braniff Airlines".

Segment by engine
The 787, A350 and A330neo can now be split by engine. Segment by → Engine shows each delivery by the engine it was delivered with: on the 787 since 2011, GEnx-1B 883 and Trent 1000 428 through September 2026; on the A350, Trent XWB-84 (A350-900, 622) and Trent XWB-97 (A350-1000, 123); on the A330neo, Trent 7000 (203), all three through October 2026. The option appears when every aircraft in scope is one of those three families; anything else in view reads as "Other aircraft". The hover and Share % follow the split.

Engine filter, by model or by maker
A row of engine checks under the scope pills keeps only the aircraft with the engines left on, one check per engine model in scope. The Model | Maker tabs at the start of the row switch the split everywhere between the five engine models and the two makers, GE Aerospace and Rolls-Royce: 883 and 1,376 aircraft across the three families, with the 787 through September 2026 and the A350 and A330neo through October.

Customers by engine
On the Customer axis, the 787 can be segmented by engine, which shows the airlines and lessors that split their fleets between the two engines. All Nippon Airways flies 80 787s with Trent 1000s and 12 with GEnx-1Bs; Lufthansa and Ethiopian fly both engines too, and in the Buyer view Air Lease Corporation and ILFC bought both.

The engine in the drilldown
When every aircraft in an open year is a 787, an A350 or an A330neo, the drilldown lists each delivery's engine in its own column and offers Engine as a way to break the year down.

A second historical series
Historical data can now draw two economic series at once, the Federal Funds Rate beside the jet fuel crack spread, say. Add a second series appears once a first series is drawn. The second line is dash-dot and gets its own axis on the right unless it reads in the same units as the first. The subhead, the hover and an exported PNG name both.

Same period, side by side
At the Quarterly or Monthly scale, a new row sets the same quarter or month from several years next to each other: the last three first quarters (254, 298 and 296 aircraft in Q1 2024, 2025 and 2026), the Decembers of the last ten years, or every quarter of the last three years grouped Q1s, then Q2s, then Q3s, then Q4s. A dashed rule and a little space separate the groups.

Larger titles on an exported PNG
Export PNG now opens a small menu: Standard, Large or Extra large title and subhead, then Download PNG. The larger sizes wrap a long title onto two lines. The chart remembers your choice. Standard is the export as it was.
A close button on the hover, on phones
On a phone, the hover box carries a small × in its top-right corner; tap it to hide the box. Tapping elsewhere still closes it too.
The axis labels ride the link
The customer axis's Name · ICAO · Logo choice and the country axis's Name · ISO and Flag choices are now part of a copied link and of the embed code, so a shared view opens with the same labels.

Improved
The year-to-date note follows the manufacturers on the chart
The manufacturers report on their own calendars, so the note beside the current year now says how far each one goes. A Boeing-only view reads "(2026 through September)", an Airbus-only view "(2026 through October)", and a view with both names each.
Picks stack across every aircraft list
Choices made in Category, Family, Program, Variant and the Freighters button now add together. Pick four CRJ variants and then the E-Jet program, and the chart shows both. Before, the second pick replaced part of the first and the chart could go blank.
A family that is only partly selected says so
When a pick takes only some of a family's aircraft (the Freighters button takes the freighter variants of 13 families), that family's row shows a dash instead of a check, and the pills name only what is wholly selected ("Part of 13 families"). Clicking a dashed row adds the rest of the family.
The drilldown opens in view on The Air Current's page
On theaircurrent.com, the drilldown, the welcome screen and the other centred panels now open in the middle of the window you are looking at. Before, they could open partly or wholly below the fold.
The welcome screen on The Air Current's page
First-time readers on theaircurrent.com now see the welcome screen. It waits until the chart is mostly on screen.
Fixed
The Embraer quick selects
The E-Jet program selected only the E-Jet E2. The Regional category counted 2,011 of its 4,709 deliveries and Business Jet 1,880 of 2,207. Embraer families that hold both airliners and business jets now belong to both categories, and every category's count matches its deliveries.
Country groups
Quick add in the country list now stays open while you add groups. A pressed group no longer lights the smaller groups inside it (pressing the G20 no longer lights the G7 and the BRIC countries too).
Overlay series in an exported PNG
An exported PNG's key now lists the economic series drawn on the chart (jet fuel and WTI beside ATR's deliveries, for example). Before, the key could leave them out.
