PARIS (AP) — Airbus plans to deliver more aircraft to customers in 2024 even as supply chain headaches continue to afflict the European airplane maker. The company reported healthy results for its commercial aircraft business Thursday in its latest annual earnings report, and signaled that there was more to come this year by setting a target of 800 commercial aircraft deliveries, 65 more than in 2023. 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%.

Airbus, the European aerospace giant, plans to deliver around 800 commercial aircraft this year, including the popular single-aisle A320neo, its main competitor to the 737 Max. Airbus pulled in a record 2,094 commercial aircraft orders last year, partly on a surge in demand for narrow-body and mid-sized jets from India and other rapidly growing countries. That added to the company’s extensive backlog of 8,598 commercial aircraft at the end of 2023. By contrast, Boeing delivered 528 commercial airplanes and recorded 1,576 net orders. The company added a special dividend, on top of its usual payout, as its net cash exceeded €10 billion.

Airbus will learn lessons from the Boeing 737 Max blowout, said CEO Guillaume Faury. The Max 9 lost its door plug in midair after leaving the factory without key bolts, the NTSB said. AdvertisementAirbus is looking to learn lessons from Boeing's troubles following the Alaska Airlines blowout, its CEO said during a Thursday earnings call. "We're obviously, like many other players in the industry, observing the development after the door plug event," said CEO Guillaume Faury. In its preliminary report, the National Transportation Safety Board said the jet — delivered to the airline just 66 days earlier — left Boeing's factory missing key bolts designed to secure the door plug.

Airbus declined to elaborate on the charge, which came as the planemaker formally announced a restructuring in its Defence & Space division that has been in preparation for several months. Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury stuck to his guns, however. Airbus is producing A320-family jets in the low-50s per month instead of a planned level closer to 58, they said. On the loss-making A220, Airbus reiterated plans to raise output to 14 a month. "We are working very closely with them in the spirit of supporting them, but we also expect from Spirit to well support Airbus.

Airbus names sales chief Scherer CEO of planemaking arm
  + stars: | 2023-09-26 | by ( Tim Hepher | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Airbus Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer is interviewed by Reuters at the International Air Transport Association's Annual General Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., October 4, 2021. Scherer's appointment as Commercial Aircraft CEO, first reported by Reuters, will take effect from Jan. 1 after discussions with unions, Airbus said. Scherer, who is currently chief commercial officer, said Airbus would meet its operational objectives. Airbus formally merged with its dominant planemaking business in 2018, meaning it combines two separate headquarters and operational functions under one CEO, with the Helicopters and Defence & Space divisions sitting underneath. The shake-up brings back a separate planemaking CEO under the same roof but the company does not appear to be re-creating two entities, something that had created a stage for chronic in-fighting in the past.

Airbus Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer is interviewed by Reuters at the International Air Transport Association's Annual General Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., October 4, 2021. Reuters revealed the plans to reorganise in July and this month Scherer, an Airbus veteran currently serving as chief commercial officer, emerged as one of the main candidates to run the jetmaking arm, which accounts for 70% of revenue. Airbus reorganisations are more sensitive than most because of a history of friction between founders France and Germany. Born in Germany and raised in Toulouse, 61-year-old Scherer has spent his career in the Airbus commercial arm, apart from stints in Defence and as CEO of turboprop affiliate ATR. Insiders say the immediate challenges Scherer faces will be less familiar industrial ones, such as meeting production and delivery targets and managing roughly 80,000 Airbus employees.

Industry sources said a final decision on the shake-up was likely in coming weeks, capping weeks of speculation after Reuters reported the looming reorganisation in July. Airbus Helicopters CEO Bruno Even had earlier been cited as a possible candidate for the top planemaking role. But the focus of speculation has widened to Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer, a veteran of the Airbus planemaking business who has also had stints at the Defence division and in running turboprop joint-venture ATR, industry sources said. His appointment would herald broad continuity at the company's main planemaking business, which accounts for most of the company's revenue.

Asked about the new combination, which is part of a deeper Defence & Space restructuring codenamed ATOM, an Airbus spokesperson said: "We are currently discussing the details and ideas with our social partners". In July, Airbus Chief Executive Guillaume Faury said a reorganisation in Defence & Space was designed to make the business more agile. Despite a broad increase in overall demand for weapons since the Ukraine conflict began, Airbus Defence & Space is the company's second-biggest activity in terms of revenues but the least profitable, lagging behind jetliners and helicopters.

RTX said on Monday it would have to pull 600 to 700 of its Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan (GTF) engines from Airbus A320neo jets for quality inspections over the next three years. The engine issue was first disclosed in July, but RTX made the extent of the problem clearer on Monday. The announcement caused waves up and down the industry, from component manufacturers like Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries to airline carriers like Germany's Lufthansa that rely on the popular Airbus jets. In July, RTX said microscopic contaminants were found in a powdered metal used in high-pressure turbine discs that are part of the GTF engine's core. RTX is one of two manufacturers of engines for the popular narrowbody Airbus A320neo, the other being CFM International, a joint venture between GE (GE.N) and Safran (SAF.PA).

Ninety percent of July's objectives were met and further tests are scheduled for September, it added. "After this series of tests we plan to consolidate a launch date for Ariane 6," ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher told Reuters. Asked whether it was fair to assume that plans for a test launch before the end of the year were now out of reach, Aschbacher told Reuters, "This is fair to say, yes".

The chief executive of Airbus has called a lack of European collaboration on major defense projects following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine "frustrating." "That's very challenging, and it's quite frustrating to see that the responses that have been provided so far are mostly of a national nature and not much of a European nature," he said Wednesday. "That's something we think Europe should reconsider and be more consistent, when it comes to working together on large programs." Earlier this month, Michael Schoellhorn, Airbus' defense chief, said in a Financial Times interview that political discussions about steps toward European defence programs had so far been "lip service." Airbus results Wednesday showed that revenues at its defense and space division fell 8% which it attributed to "delays in Space Systems and delivery phasing in Military Air Systems."

Airbus posts higher profit, removes near-term output goal
  + stars: | 2023-07-26 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Europe's Airbus on Wednesday posted higher-than-expected underlying operating profit for the second quarter and reaffirmed financial goals for the year, while removing an interim industrial target on the route to record jet output. The world's largest planemaker said adjusted earnings before interest and tax rose 34% to 1.845 billion euros ($2.04 billion)as revenues grew 24% to 15.9 billion euros, buoyed by higher jet deliveries. Analysts had forecast quarterly operating profit of 1.725 billion euros on revenues of 15.867 billion, according to a company-compiled consensus. Airbus said it was "progressing well" towards a widely watched production goal for its best-selling A320neo-family jets of 75 jets a month in 2026, which it reaffirmed. One senior supplier said the decision would not help Airbus' credibility as it encourages suppliers to hire and invest.

[1/2] Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury takes part in a panel discussion at the International Air Transport Association's (IATA) Annual General Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., October 4, 2021. That mirrors a structure under which the planemaking business technically owns the two smaller divisions, Helicopters and Defence & Space, following an internal merger. Airbus says it is no longer politically driven following an agreement to limit government interference a decade ago. But such a structure would draw inevitable comparisons with the era of former planemaking chief Fabrice Bregier, who left Airbus in 2018 after a power battle with then CEO Tom Enders. INTERNAL BALANCEHaving a visible planemaking leader would more closely echo rival Boeing (BA.N), each of whose divisions has its own boss.

The Chinese planner said it supports domestic airlines cooperating with Airbus according to their needs. He also witnessed the signing of the agreements between the NDRC and the European companies separately in Berlin and Paris, according to the Chinese planner. Relations are also strained from recent moves by European Union regulators and governments to limit China’s access to sensitive technology. In March, the European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen called on Europe to reassess its diplomatic and economic relations with China. “Germany is committed to actively broadening our economic relations with Asia and beyond,” Scholz said at a joint press conference with Li, according to French news agency AFP.

The multibillion-dollar deal is the largest ever by number of aircraft, eclipsing Air India's provisional purchase of 470 jets earlier this year as India's two largest carriers plan for a sharp expansion in regional travel demand. With the growth of India (and) the growth of the Indian aviation market ... this is the right time for us to place this order," IndiGo Chief Executive Pieter Elbers told a news conference. Indian carriers now have the second-largest order book, with an over 6% share of the industry backlog, behind only the United States, according to a June 1 report by Barclays. After signing the IndiGo deal, Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury said it was premature to start thinking about narrowbody jet production rates higher than the planned 75 per month. It continues to hold separate talks with Airbus and rival Boeing (BA.N) for 25 widebody planes, which could either be Airbus A330neos or Boeing 787 jets, sources have said.

PARIS, June 16 (Reuters) - Airbus (AIR.PA) has signed orders this month including 60 A320-family jets with a lessor and 10 A350s with a major airline, said the planemaker's Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer. The deals come on top of any business to be announced at next week's Paris Airshow and will be booked at end-June, though the buyers will not disclosed, he also told reporters. He said next week's event would bring evidence of a strong recovery in terms of demand. Earlier on Friday, Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury had said that supply chains had stabilised although the industry still faced pressing labour shortages.

June 2 (Reuters) - Boeing Co. (BA.N) CEO Dave Calhoun on Friday said progress on resolving supply chain problems has been "frustratingly slow" even as airlines' demand for planes has bounced back to pre-pandemic levels. Boeing has seen improvements in certain elements of its supply chain, such as engine forgings and castings, Calhoun said. "We've got to be smart about how we manage supply against that demand spike," Calhoun said at a Bernstein conference. Boeing regularly tracks 25-30 parts from a subset of suppliers that have previoulsy faced production headwinds. But surprise issues can still crop up from "the supplier who lost some experience, talents, talents, somewhere along the way didn't replace them in kind," he said.

PARIS, May 3 (Reuters) - The head of planemaker Airbus (AIR.PA) said on Wednesday U.S. engine maker Pratt & Whitney has been struggling to support its fleet of passenger jets with enough spare parts and engines. CEO Guillaume Faury declined comment on a decision by India's third-largest airline, Go First, to file for bankruptcy, which it blamed on problems with the durability of Pratt & Whitney's GTF engines on its Airbus 320neo jets. "This being said, there are issues with in-service support of the GTF that are leading to airlines having planes with temporary issues, and planes 'AOG' (grounded), and this is something that we are very closely monitoring," Faury told reporters during a results briefing. Raytheon Technologies (RTX.N) unit Pratt & Whitney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Reporting by Tim HepherOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
