Airbus Will Deliver Fewer New Planes This Year: Should Airlines be Worried?
Skift Take
Boeing’s recent challenges have seen more airlines switch to Airbus. This could mean delivery delays have a wider operational impact on the industry.
Production problems at Boeing have grabbed most of the headlines this year, but its European rival isn’t immune to wider industry challenges.
Evidence, if it was needed, was contained in a market filing on Monday. Airbus started the week on a rather somber note, announcing that it wouldn’t meet its annual financial targets for the year.
Some of this was down to costs incurred within its space technology business, but there is moderate turbulence in the commercial airline division too.
The plane maker said it expects to deliver around 770 planes before the end of 2024. This is down from the 800 figure shared
