Airbus SE still aims to increase its production rate of
narrow-body planes to 75 a month in 2025 despite the difficulties
it faces in securing enough engines and other components from its
suppliers.
The European plane maker's target for its A320 family of
aircraft remains unchanged, and takes into account its assessment
of the readiness of its supply chain, a company spokesman said
Thursday.
On Wednesday, Reuters reported, citing unnamed sources, that the
company had privately began to ease pressure on its suppliers with
respect to the 2025 target.
Boeing Co.'s European rival said it acknowledged the current
supply-chain challenges and that it adjusted its interim target two
months ago to reflect this. In July, it said it expected to reach a
rate of 65 planes a month by early 2024, six months later than
previously projected.
Airbus's production rate currently averages around 50 planes a
month.
