The airline industry’s most senior representative on Friday cast doubt on plans by Europe’s Airbus for sharp increases in jetliner production, saying they appeared overly optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willie Walsh, director general of the International Air Transport Association, voiced scepticism a day after Airbus published proposals to almost double single-aisle production to as high as 75 jets a month by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Let’s wait and see, because obviously there is a huge disconnect between what the manufacturers say they’re going to produce and what the airlines decide to buy,” he told Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IATA has no day-to-day role in aircraft negotiations, but Walsh was for years among the most influential buyers as the former head of British Airways and then its parent group IAG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus Chief Executive Guillaume Faury defended the increases on Thursday, telling Reuters that pent-up demand for flights on medium-haul jets was “very strong”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investors pushed up shares in the world’s largest planemaker by almost 10% on Thursday, followed by another 1.2% on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leasing company executives and some suppliers have responded more cautiously, amid what industry sources described as a standoff between Airbus and some suppliers over who should pay for investments needed to get output to pre-crisis levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faury sought to allay suppliers’ concerns, saying the detailed new roadmap provided by Airbus would allow them to plan and raise any necessary funding from markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
