The slowdown stems from fuselage panel quality issues and engine shortages, while Airbus maintains its 2026 target of around 870 deliveries amid ongoing supply chain pressures.
April 9 (Reuters) - Airbus delivered 60 aircrafts in March, bringing first-quarter deliveries to 114 jets, down 16% from the same point last year, the European planemaker said on Thursday.
Deliveries included three jets to Dubai-based Emirates despite disruption to the airline's operations from the Gulf conflict, monthly data showed.
The French-based plane maker also delivered one jet each to Etihad Airways and Saudi Arabia's Fly A Deal.
Airbus deliveries have been hampered since the start of the year by ongoing problems with the supply of fuselage panels and shortages of engines, company executives have said.
In the first quarter of 2025, Airbus delivered 136 aircraft.
Airbus aims to deliver 870 airplanes this year.
The company said it had sold 408 aircraft in the first quarter or a net total of 398 after adjusting for cancellations.
