Paris, September 7 (FinanceFlashNews) – Airbus delivered fewer than 50 aircraft in August, a sharp decrease from the 77 aircraft delivered in July, complicating its efforts to meet the revised annual target of 770 aircraft. This adjustment, down from the initial target of 800, was necessitated by ongoing supply chain issues, as detailed in a report by Reuters.
Chloe Lemarie, an analyst at Jefferies, noted that Airbus must enhance its monthly output significantly for the remainder of the year to achieve its delivery objectives. This would represent a substantial increase in production efforts compared to the previous year.
To date, Airbus’s total deliveries for the year stand at 447 aircraft, markedly below the company’s projections and highlighting the broader challenges facing the aerospace industry. These challenges include severe logistical disruptions and supply chain bottlenecks that continue to impact production rates across the sector.
