Airbus deliveries fell 11%<\/strong> on an industrial basis to 127 jets in the first quarter, highlighting the strain on global supply chains and paving the way for a 12-week sprint<\/strong> to level the trajectory by mid-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deliveries were 11% lower than the 142 physical deliveries in the same period last year, or 9% lower than the adjusted year-ago total of 140. <\/em>Last year, Airbus cancelled two deliveries to reflect Western sanctions against Russia.<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Airbus delivered 11 wide-body jets, including 5 A350s, 10 small A220 jets, and 106 of its best-selling A320neo-<\/strong>family aircraft in the first quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Airbus declined to comment ahead of a scheduled release on April 11, when rival Boeing will also report deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After beginning the year with a one-third drop in deliveries, Airbus reduced the cumulative year-on-year deficit to 11% in March, down from 16% the previous month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, hopes of achieving deliveries in the high 130s<\/strong> in the first quarter were dashed by ongoing industrial and supply chain issues, which have recently spread to premium wide-body cabins, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The long-haul A350<\/strong> led the quarterly drop, down to 5 aircraft from an unadjusted total of 16 a year earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deliveries set the tone for profits and cashflow because airlines and lessors<\/strong> pay the majority of the delivery cost.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury announced a new assembly line in China on Thursday, aiming to boost medium-term output targets and expand access to a key market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, the company has strengthened a “watchtower<\/strong>” system designed to monitor lower tiers of the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the first-quarter shortfall puts Airbus under pressure<\/strong> to accelerate deliveries in the current quarter, or at the very least regain enough visibility to confirm or reconsider an annual goal of 720 deliveries by mid-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year, the company was forced to lower its delivery target<\/strong> before abandoning it as supply issues swamped its forecasts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
According to sources, Faury is determined to avoid flying blind into the second half of 2023, which means the half-year performance<\/strong> may be decisive for delivery goals and operational planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nonetheless, Airbus and Boeing are increasing output to meet rising global demand. On Thursday, Faury said in China that the new line would provide valuable new “surge” capacity<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
