Airbus Cuts Delivery Target on Panel Issues With Popular Jet

Airbus SE cut its 2025 aircraft delivery target after discovering production glitches on its bestselling A320 jet that require additional checks, a setback that underscores the planemaker’s dependence on a still-shaky supplier network.

The company now aims to hand over about 790 aircraft this year, 30 fewer than its original goal. Airbus said it’s revising the target due to a “recent supplier quality issue on fuselage panels impacting its A320 family delivery flow,” though the company maintained its financial targets.
