Airbus: releases order numbers, revises production schedule

(CercleFinance.com) - Airbus has recorded 290 net commercial aircraft orders and delivered 122 aircraft in the first three months of 2020.


The company produced 60 aircraft over the quarter, although they have not yet been delivered due to the Covid-19 crisis. 36 aircraft were delivered in March, down from 55 in February 2020.

Airbus has revised its production rates to adapt to new market conditions. The group will produce 40 A320s, two A330s and six A350s per month.

This represents about a one-third cut in its average production rate relative to the level before the coronavirus pandemic.
