• Airbus is targeting a total of 720 commercial deliveries
Airbus delivered approximately 47 aircraft in May, down 6% compared to its deliveries in the same month last year.
The aerospace industry is wrestling with tight supply chains. Despite the drop in the figure for May, the total deliveries for the year so far are calculated as 235, up 7% from the first five months of 2021.
The bulk of the company's income came through the deliveries of 37 A320-family single-aisle aircraft. Airbus has said it wants to lift A320 output to 65 a month by the middle of next year, propelled by a brisk recovery in medium-haul travel. Beyond that it aims for 75 a month by 2025.
So far this year Airbus has sold 364 airplanes or 191 after cancellations. The aircraft manufacturer is targeting a total of 720 commercial deliveries this year.
