Airbus is aiming to deliver around 720 commercial aircraft this year, a target which CEO Guillaume Faury acknowledged will be challenging to reach as it marks a significant increase on the 611 aircraft the European airframer handed over to customers in 2021. “It is a difficult ramp-up. We need to earn our right to reach these 720 [deliveries] each month, each week, and maybe every single day,” Faury cautioned during a financial results call to discuss year-end numbers with analysts on Thursday. “It will not be easy, but we think we can reasonably do it,” he said.
