PARIS—Airbus kept its crown as the world’s largest commercial airplane supplier for the third year running as it outstripped Boeing by delivering 611 jets in 2021, company data showed on Monday.

The delivery numbers gave Airbus an unassailable lead on revenue-generating deliveries—the industry’s main yardstick—after Boeing only handed over 302 jets in the first 11 months.
