Core Viewpoint - The global aviation industry is significantly impacted by delivery delays from aircraft and engine manufacturers, leading to reduced aircraft deliveries and increased operational challenges for airlines [1][3]. Group 1: Airbus Financial Performance - Airbus delivered 306 commercial aircraft in the first half of 2025, a decrease from 323 in the same period of 2024, due to engine supply issues [1]. - The company's consolidated revenue increased by 3% year-on-year to €29.6 billion, while revenue from the commercial aircraft segment decreased by 2% to €20.8 billion [1]. - Adjusted EBIT for the first half of 2025 was €2.204 billion, up from €1.391 billion in the same period of 2024, but adjusted EBIT related to commercial aircraft fell to €1.714 billion from €1.954 billion [1]. Group 2: Production Capacity and Supply Chain Challenges - Airbus aims to increase A320 production to 75 aircraft per month by 2027, with A330 production currently stable at 4 per month and a target of 5 by 2029 [2]. - Supply chain challenges have been exacerbated post-pandemic, affecting production capacity for A350 and A220 projects, with targets set for 12 A350s per month by 2028 and 14 A220s by 2026 [2]. - The pandemic led to significant layoffs in both aircraft manufacturers and parts suppliers, complicating the recovery process and causing delivery delays [2]. Group 3: Industry-Wide Impacts - The global backlog of undelivered aircraft exceeds 17,000, significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels, indicating potential delivery times of up to 14 years [3]. - Airlines are increasingly turning to the second-hand market or leasing aircraft due to delays in new deliveries, resulting in a 20-30% increase in narrow-body aircraft rental rates compared to 2019 [3]. - The supply chain issues have led to increased costs for airlines, including higher leasing costs and maintenance expenses due to aging fleets [4].
