Airbus prepares to provide more airplane to consumers in 2024 even as supply chain headaches continue to affect the European aircraft maker.
The business reported healthy outcomes for its business airplane company Thursday in its most current yearly revenues report, and signified that there was more to come this year by setting a target of 800 business airplane shipments, 65 more than in 2023.
“We progressed on our production ramp-up against a backdrop of an operating environment that remains complex and affected by supply chain challenges and geopolitical conflicts so at the end that’s quite an achievement in my view,” CEO Guillaume Faury stated.
Airbus’s fortunes contrast with battles at U.S. competitor Boeing, which is fighting making quality assurance issues after an emergency situation door panel blew off a 737 Max 9 jetliner last month.
Faury showed that Airbus would not see any short-term bump from airline companies that wish to change providers as it currently has a large order stockpile for its A320 narrow-body jets that contend straight with Boeing’s 737 household.
“What’s happening in the broader industry – you refer to the situation of the competitor – has obviously an impact on all of this,” Faury informed press reporters at its head office in Toulouse,France But he stated the business is concentrated on its order stockpile with existing consumers “that’s independent from what could happen outside.”
Openings for brand-new aircraft orders will not be readily available till the next years, “so that would more impact the long term competitive positioning of the two companies rather than the short term,” Faury stated.
Airbus reported that adjusted revenues before interest and tax increased 4% to 5.8 billion euros ($ 6.2 billion) as income climbed up 11%. It likewise revealed strategies to pay investors an unique dividend on top of the routine dividend, showing development potential customers and a strong balance sheet consisting of a money stack that increased 14% to 10.7 billion euros.
