Airbus delivery slowdown squeezes profits, full-year target unchanged

Airbus announced a decrease in its profit figures for the third quarter of this year, primarily attributed to a reduction in the pace of commercial aircraft deliveries. Specifically, Airbus delivered 235 commercial jets during the period, representing a decline compared to previous quarters. Despite this slowdown impacting profitability, the company maintains its previously stated full-year target of delivering approximately 740 commercial aircraft. The delivery numbers reflect challenges related to supply chain constraints and increased demand across the aviation industry. Airbus continues to focus on optimizing production processes while navigating these ongoing market dynamics.
