TEHRAN, April 11 -Airbus (AIR.PA) Chief Executive Tom Enders said on Wednesday the planemaker expects deliveries of narrowbody jets once again to be backloaded towards the latter part of the year - possibly even more so than before - due to ongoing engine issues.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Airbus (AIR.PA) Chief Executive Tom Enders said on Wednesday the planemaker expects deliveries of narrowbody jets once again to be backloaded towards the latter part of the year - possibly even more so than before - due to ongoing engine issues.
Deliveries have been delayed by delivery and quality problems on engines provided by Pratt & Whitney, and most recently engines from French-U.S. venture CFM (SAF.PA) (GE.N). Pratt-powered A320neo deliveries have been suspended.
Both engine suppliers for Airbus narrowbody jets remain “stressed,” but Airbus - whose main rival is Boeing (BA.N) - is sticking by a target of delivering some 800 aircraft this year, Enders said.
“We are quite optimistic they can meet (goals) but it is not going to be a walk in the park,” he said at the company’s annual shareholder meeting, monitored by webcast.
