Investing.com — Airbus SE CEO Guillaume Faury said Wednesday that the planemaker’s 2026 delivery target of around 870 commercial aircraft corresponds to a range between 850 and 890 planes. <\/p>\n
The European aerospace manufacturer maintains a “high degree of confidence” in reaching this target, Faury told reporters following the release of quarterly results earlier in the day. <\/p>\n
Earlier this month, reports indicated that Airbus had set an internal goal exceeding 900 deliveries while maintaining its official guidance of around 870 aircraft. <\/p>\n
Faury added that discussions with Pratt & Whitney are no longer affecting 2026 deliveries, noting the company is working to resolve the ongoing dispute with the engine maker. He added that Airbus expects to reach a more normalized situation with Pratt & Whitney after 2027. <\/p>\n
Commenting on reports of EU’s support for the manufacturer, the CEO said Airbus possesses the balance sheet strength needed to support its programs and that government support applications are “not on my radar as we speak.” <\/p>\n
Faury also mentioned that the company remains committed to Project Bromo, a satellite combination initiative. He said it is premature to determine what the next fighter aircraft will look like following the collapse of the Franco-German FCAS project. <\/p>\n
