Airbus executives expressed confidence the European OEM will achieve its targets of delivering “around” 700 commercial aircraft this year and a return to pre-Covid levels of close to 1,000 aircraft by the middle of the decade. Attaining some 700 commercial aircraft deliveries against the backdrop of disruptions in the global supply chain “is anything but a walk in the park,” stressed Airbus Chief Financial Officer Dominik Asam during the company’s capital markets day on Friday. “But we are fully engaged with our suppliers to deliver on our commitments to customers.” Airbus works with about 3,200 suppliers and some 3 million parts come through the manufacturer’s doors each day, said Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury.
