Airbus delivery targets on track as supply chain issues improve, execs say

LONDON (Reuters) – Airbus executives said on Thursday they were confident they would meet a delivery target of 75 A320 jets a month in 2026 as they said they would continue to get through a company backlog of 8,600 planes.

Chief Executive Guillaume Faury added there were still supply chain issues but the situation was improving, as the planemaker has seen a return in the market for widebody planes and an overall recovery in business since the pandemic.
