Airbus delivered 735 commercial aircraft to customers last year,
above the 720 target the company had set itself, thanks to strong
orders for both narrow- and wide-body planes from airlines
scrambling to meet air-travel demand.
The European plane maker said Thursday that it delivered 68 of
its A220 planes and 571 A320s, both narrow-body aircraft types, in
2023. For its wide-body models, Airbus delivered 32 A330s, and 64
A350s.
Airbus had shipped 623 planes through November, meaning it
delivered the remaining 112 in December alone. The company had
originally hoped to achieve 720 deliveries in 2022 but was forced
to shelve that goal due to supply-chain woes.
In the end, it handed 661 planes to customers that year, short
of a downgraded target of around 700. The aviation industry has
been grappling for months with supply-chain challenges that have
made it harder to procure some spare parts and raw materials.
