Overview

• Faury says Airbus remains on pace to hand over about 820 jets in 2025, with a stronger finish expected once engine deliveries increase.
• Engine shortfalls from CFM and Pratt & Whitney have left roughly 60 completed aircraft per month waiting for engines in the first half, with suppliers indicating recovery by year‑end.
• Airbus delivered 61 aircraft in August for 434 year‑to‑date, while Boeing reported 57 in August and 385 year‑to‑date.
• U.S. capacity is expanding in Mobile, Alabama, where two A321 lines and one A220 line are operating, with a third line planned that Faury says could lift output to around 200 aircraft per quarter.
• Airbus continues work on a next‑generation single‑aisle program targeting a late‑decade launch and mid‑2030s service entry with 20–25% better fuel efficiency, while Faury backs tariff‑free transatlantic trade.
