The Chief Executive Officer of Airbus<\/strong>, Guillaume Faury, stated that although issues persist within the engine supply chain, the European aircraft manufacturer remains firm on its annual delivery objective. As he explained during the Global Aerospace Summit organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, the situation has improved compared to previous months, but key components are still missing to meet the schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July, the company reported that the number of completed airframes without engines\u2014known in the industry as gliders\u2014had increased to 60 units. Previous delays with CFM International have now been compounded by issues with Pratt & Whitney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are still in the same situation. It has improved slightly, but we need much more from the engine manufacturers between now and the end of November,” Faury told journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Ambitious Target: 820 Deliveries in 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The executive confirmed that engines continue to be the weakest link in the aerospace supply chain. Even so, he reaffirmed the goal of increasing deliveries by 7%, reaching 820 aircraft in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We see that the manufacturers are managing these problems and that, for the most part, they are behind us,” he noted. However, he warned that uncertainty will continue until the engines are received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
