On location in Toulouse, Aviation Week’s Jens Flottau and Robert Wall discuss the implications of Airbus’ latest results, including the downward revision of its production targets, particularly for the A320neo family.
Overall, Airbus is now targeting 870 commercial aircraft deliveries for 2026, which is 77 more than it achieved in 2025. However, this guidance falls short of some analysts’ forecasts, with expectations exceeding 900 deliveries.
On the defense side, uncertainty persists regarding the Future Combat Air System, specifically the next-generation fighter, while the A400M program has now become cash-positive.
