The lessor added in a filing that the A330neo wide-body has also been affected to a lesser extent, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"broken_link\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAirbus has advised us to continue to expect several months of delivery delays relating to such aircraft scheduled to deliver through 2022,\u201d the Los Angeles-based firm said in the filing Thursday. \u201cThese delays also have impacted airline operations and the profitability of certain airlines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>See also: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/08\/regulator-grounded-13-qatar-airways-airbus-a350s.html\"><em>Regulator grounded 13 Qatar Airways Airbus A350s over surface issue.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An Airbus spokesman said here\u2019s no systemic delay, though \u201ca few aircraft could be some months behind.\u201d The company said any shortfall can be addressed by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enduring snags with the A321neo could endanger Airbus\u2019s plans to accelerate output coming out of the Covid-19 crisis. The high-capacity variant of the A320 is now its most popular aircraft, accounting for about half of the 6,000 or so narrow-bodies in the order backlog. The model had been plagued by glitches even before the outbreak, with engine issues slowing output and extensive cabin-customization options adding to build times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the A321neo\u2019s only European production line is in Hamburg, Germany, the A330 is assembled at Airbus\u2019s headquarters in Toulouse, France, so that the current issues appear to involve more than one
