Airbus is ramping up pressure on U.S. engine maker Pratt & Whitney by pursuing potential damages in an escalating dispute over late engine shipments as it struggles to lift aircraft production, two people familiar with the matter said.
Leasing giant AerCap said on Wednesday that it had agreed to buy 100 Airbus A320neo-family jets.
Atlas Air Worldwide said on Monday it had ordered 20 Airbus A350 freighters, becoming the largest customer for the new European cargo plane.
Airbus maintains a massive 8,800-aircraft backlog, but production ramp-up challenges persist despite strong demand. February orders reached 28 aircraft, higher year-on-year, yet wide-body order momentum remains weak and order value has declined. Deliveries lag, with only 54 units in the first two months—down 17% year-on-year—casting doubt on the 2026 delivery target of 870.
CNBC's Phil LeBeau and Airbus North America CEO Robin Hayes join ‘Squawk Box' to discuss the spike in jet fuel prices and the impact of the U.S.-Iran war on aviation production.
Boeing outperformed Airbus in January, leading both net orders and deliveries, with a significant $6.1 billion advantage in net order value. BA secured 68% of net orders and 77% of order value, driven by strong wide-body demand and major orders from Air India and Delta. Despite robust backlogs, both Boeing and Airbus face production challenges. Airbus from supply chain issues, Boeing from reliance on current production rather than inventory.
The head of French warplane maker Dassault Aviation said he had taken note of what he described as Airbus' refusal to work with it on a next-generation fighter, and that the FCAS project would be "dead" unless that stance changed.
More money for military spending likely will mean more political interference and bad news for margins.
Airbus has faced challenges meeting ambitious delivery targets, with 2026 guidance seen as underwhelming. January orders were strong at 49 jets, dominated by single-aisle models, but delivery volume declined year-on-year due to supply chain strains. EADSF's 2026 target of 870 deliveries implies a 10% YoY increase, yet persistent supply chain bottlenecks and credibility of targets remain key risks.
Delta Air Lines said on Friday it will buy 34 more Airbus A321neo jets as part of its plan to refresh its fleet with aircraft that burn less fuel and offer more premium seats.
Stocks like Nestlé, BMW, ASML and Airbus could be winners as AI worries roil the market.
Airbus is ready to take part in any decision to split a troubled Franco-German-Spanish fighter project into two separate warplanes, but is capable of going it alone if necessary, the company's CEO said in comments broadcast on Friday.
