Airbus CEO says H1 deliveries consistent with annual goal

Airbus is on track to meet its full-year target of 870 aircraft deliveries, according to CEO Guillaume Faury. The company reported a 15% increase in deliveries during the first half of the year, attributing the improvement to stabilized engine supplies. Faury made these remarks on the sidelines of the Farnborough Airshow, where the event has opened with a significant focus on defence technologies amid global conflicts, alongside commercial aircraft orders from manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus. Defence companies constitute half of the record 1,600 exhibitors, highlighting increased demand for military capabilities. While commercial aviation remains a focus, supply-chain constraints continue to limit production capacity for aircraft manufacturers.
