Airbus Sees Engine Shortages in 2026 Amid Continued Supply Woes

Airbus SE expects aircraft engines to remain in tight supply this year, suggesting that the bottlenecks that have complicated output in recent years show no signs of abating any time soon.

The timing of engine deliveries on its bestselling A320 narrowbody continue to be an issue, Christian Scherer, the outgoing chief executive officer for Airbus commercial aircraft, said on a media call on Monday. The company is still in discussions with Pratt & Whitney, one of the two suppliers of engines on the A320, about future volumes, Scherer said.
