However, Airbus is also cautious about its sales outlook this year, in the context of the rapidly spreading Covid-19 strain of Omicron.

According to Finnacial Times, Airbus said it delivered 611 aircraft last year, an increase of 8% compared to 2020. 2/3 of these are single-aisle A320 aircraft, the main type. mainly used for short and medium-range routes – the flight market segment has recovered faster than long-haul routes.

Aircraft orders aircraft received by Airbus in 2021, after deducting canceled orders, reached 771 aircraft, double that of 2020. The airline ended 2021 with 7,082 aircraft in the order book.

This data shows that Airbus continues to lead Boeing in terms of sales in terms of aircraft delivered to buyers. As expected, Boeing reports 2021 sales on January 11. However, by the end of November, this airline has only delivered 302 aircraft.

CEO Airbus’ Guillaume Faury says Airbus’ business results show the aviation industry is optimistic about post-pandemic growth. But he also warned that the company is being cautious with the spread of Omicron, even though the mutation has not led to major disruptions.

“Omicron has the potential potentially impactful, although at the moment we do not see any disruption or risk to us in the next phase,” said Mr. Faury.

The CEO revealed that Airbus still maintains its plan to ramp up production of the A320 series, with the goal of producing 65 aircraft per month by summer 2022. This is seen as an ambitious goal as Mr. Faury acknowledged that Airbus is facing many challenges including raw material supply, logistics and personnel.

Analyst Sash Tusa of Agency Partners says that Airbus has “enough orders to meet the volume of 56 aircraft per month”.

“This year, the chain The supply is quite fragile, but if the situation is rectified in Q1, I think Airbus customers will be able to receive 65 planes per month,” said Mr. Tusa.
