An Airbus SE A380 airplane during a tour of a new maintenance hangar and control tower, at Chateauroux-Centre "Marcel Dassault" Airport in Chateauroux, France, on Friday, July 1, 2022. Airbus plans to deliver more aircraft to customers in 2024 even as supply chain headaches continue to afflict the European airplane maker. But he said the company is focused on its order backlog with existing customers "that's independent from what could happen outside." Openings for new airplane orders won't be available until the next decade, "so that would more impact the long term competitive positioning of the two companies rather than the short term," Faury said. Airbus reported that adjusted earnings before interest and tax rose 4% to 5.8 billion euros ($6.2 billion) as revenue climbed 11%.

[1/3] An undelivered Airbus A350 built for Qatar Airways is seen in storage at Chateauroux, France, September 3, 2022 as Airbus and the Gulf carrier remain locked in a contractual and safety dispute. Qatar Airways has blamed the damage on a possible design defect. European regulators say the jets are safe but Qatar Airways says this can't be guaranteed without more detailed analysis. Qatar Airways seeks access to raw modelling data that would allow its technical experts to simulate the impact of lightning. In a recurring theme of the preliminary hearings, Airbus and Qatar Airways argued about how many emails and other records should be shared ahead of the trial.

The two leaders discussed the issue last December during a visit by French President Emmanuel Macron to Doha, the French official told Reuters on Wednesday. The exchange marks the first confirmation that a bitter contractual and safety dispute spilled beyond the courtroom. A spokesperson for Qatar Airways could not immediately be reached for comment. The dispute marks a public divorce at the heart of the $150 billion jet industry with billions of dollars at stake.

An undelivered Airbus A350 built for Qatar Airways is seen in storage at Chateauroux, France, September 3, 2022 as Airbus and the Gulf carrier remain locked in a contractual and safety dispute. REUTERS/Tim Hepher/File PhotoLONDON, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Airbus (AIR.PA) and Qatar Airways return to court on Friday as a contractual and safety dispute over A350 passenger jets descends into a tug-of-war over confidential documents while the sums at stake in their unprecedented falling-out top $1.5 billion. Qatar Airways is suing Airbus over damage to the painted surface and anti-lightning system on A350 jets, saying safety could be at risk from a design defect. Airbus said last month it had revoked all 19 remaining A350 orders from Qatar Airways, severing outstanding business with the Gulf carrier for new jets. Airbus and Qatar Airways both declined to comment ahead of Friday's hearing, which was due to start at 0830 GMT.
