Aircraft Manufacturer Seeks Damages Amid Dispute with US Engine Maker

Airbus is pursuing damages against US engine maker Pratt & Whitney due to delivery delays that are hampering production, according to Reuters. The dispute stems from Airbus’ belief that Pratt & Whitney is prioritizing maintenance and repair of in-service A320 family GTF engines over delivering new ones. This claim could lead to unspecified damages, as stated by Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury earlier this year. Breaking Defense reports that the issue has negatively impacted Airbus’ delivery targets for 2026.
