Airbus expects the commercial aircraft market to recover between 2023 and 2025, reaching the numbers it had before the pandemic. The company also believes that the sector will be led by the single aisle segment.
Therefore, the company is updating its production plans and making them available to suppliers, so that they can prepare for the future and plan the necessary investments, ensuring long-term production capacity and availability, in line with their recovery expectation. .
Guillaume Faury, CEO of Airbus, stated that “the aviation sector is starting to recover from the COVID-19 crisis. The message to our supplier community provides visibility to the entire industrial ecosystem to ensure the necessary resources and to be ready when market conditions so require. At the same time, we are transforming our industrial system, optimizing our aerostructure configuration and modernizing our A320 Family production facilities. All of these actions are put in place to prepare our future ”.
For the A320 family, the average production rate will be 45 aircraft per month in the first quarter of 2021, and that number will rise to 64 by the second quarter of 2023. In addition, Airbus asks suppliers to prepare a scenario to enable the production of 70 planes per month by the first quarter of 2024, while it is also examining the possibilities of setting a target of 75 aircraft per month by 2025.
For the A220 family, production is currently at five aircraft per month and the expectation is that this number will increase to around six by 2022, and that it may reach a total of 14 by the middle of the decade. The A350 family also currently has a production rate of five planes per month and is also expected to increase to six by the fall of 2022.
As for the A330, production is expected to remain on two aircraft per month.
