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%.
