On the 20th of the month, Airbus announced its expectation to deliver 820 commercial aircraft by 2025, marking a 7% increase compared to the 2024 figures. In its earnings report released on the same day, Airbus disclosed that its adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for 2024 stood at €5.35 billion, registering an 8.4% year-on-year decline. Despite the anticipated higher delivery volume for 2025, surpassing the 766 aircraft delivered in 2024, it still falls short of market expectations. Airbus acknowledged that supply chain challenges will exert short-term pressure on the production ramp-up of A320 and A350 series aircraft. Additionally, the introduction of the new A350 freighter model has been postponed to the second half of 2027.
