Airbus A320 quality issues force planemaker to reduce next year’s delivery target; financial outlook unchanged

Airbus on Wednesday revised its 2025 delivery target down to about 790 commercial aircraft, 30 fewer than previously planned. The company, however, said its financial guidance remains unchanged despite a quality issue identified in its A320 aircraft family. The world’s largest planemaker is placing delays as its engineering teams expand inspections of A320 fuselage panels after detecting defects across broader sets of jets than initially expected.
