Airbus Keeps Yearly Delivery Target Amid Supply Chain Woes

Airbus SE is keeping its ambitious jet delivery target, setting the company up for a furious production pace to close out the year, after reporting strong quarterly earnings on the back of the defense and space unit.

The European planemaker expects to hand over about 820 aircraft to customers this year despite delivering just 507 through September, it said in an earnings release Wednesday. That guidance includes the impact of tariffs.
