Airbus backs delivery target despite supply constraints - 26 septembrie 2022
The world’s largest plane maker said on Friday that it was grappling with “multiple crises” but that issues around the supply chain were its greatest challenge.
Airbus in July cut its original year-end delivery target from 720 to “around 700” aircraft. It also adjusted the planned output of its best-selling A320 family of jets for this year and next.
The company said it was targeting a monthly production rate of 65 in early 2024 — some six months later than originally forecast. Airbus at the time, however, said it was sticking with its plan to get to a monthly rate of 75 jets by 2025. Guillaume Faury, Airbus chief executive, on Friday reiterated the rate of 75 jets a month. The company expects to be producing about 50 a month by the end of this year.
