Airbus has reduced its 2025 delivery target from 825 to 790 aircraft due to a fuselage panel thickness defect affecting its A320 Family. The supplier quality issue, originating from Sofitec Aero manufacturing processes, requires inspections on 628 aircraft—including 168 already in service and over 240 in assembly. Repairs could take three to five weeks per aircraft. Despite the setback, Airbus maintains its financial guidance of €7.0 billion EBIT Adjusted and €4.5 billion Free Cash Flow, though meeting December delivery records remains challenging.
