Airbus fell short of meeting its 2022 delivery target by 39 airplanes, thanks to a supply chain environment company CEO Guillaume Faury said remains at a “very low point” during a Tuesday media call. The delivery tally of 661 airplanes represented just an 8 percent increase over the company’s total in 2021, when the company largely overcame Covid-related market “complexities” to exceed its delivery target of 600 aircraft by 11 units.

“2022 was a year characterized by a complex environment,” explained Faury. “While air travelers returned in large numbers during the summer, the supply chain remains [constrained by] the impact of covid, the war in Ukraine, energy supply issues, inflation, and, generally speaking, constrained global markets.” Faury added that although the situation “stabilized” in December, this year might bring more unexpected reasons for disruption.
