Airbus
provides suppliers with an update on production plans
- Consistent with Airbus’
market outlook and recovery plan
- Providing visibility to
suppliers and calling for rate readiness
Toulouse, 27 May 2021 – Airbus continues to expect the commercial
aircraft market to recover to pre-COVID levels between 2023 and 2025, led by
the single-aisle segment. The Company is therefore providing suppliers with an
update of its production plans, giving visibility in order to schedule
necessary investments and secure long term capacity and production rate
readiness, in line with the expected recovery.
“The aviation sector is beginning to recover from the COVID-19 crisis”, said
Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO. “The message to our supplier community provides
visibility to the entire industrial ecosystem to secure the necessary
capabilities and be ready when market conditions call for it. In parallel, we
are transforming our industrial system by optimising our aerostructures set-up
and modernising our A320 Family production facilities. All these actions are
set in motion to prepare our future.”
A320 Family: Airbus confirms an average A320 Family production rate
of 45 aircraft per month in Q4 2021 and calls on suppliers to prepare for the
future by securing a firm rate of 64 by Q2 2023. In anticipation of
a continued recovering market, Airbus is also asking suppliers to enable a
scenario of rate 70 by Q1 2024. Longer term, Airbus is investigating
opportunities for rates as high as 75 by 2025.
A220 Family: Currently at around rate five aircraft per month from
Mirabel and Mobile, the rate is confirmed to rise to around six in early
2022. Airbus is also envisaging a monthly production rate of 14 by the middle
of the decade.
A350 Family: Currently at an average production rate of five per
month, this is expected to increase to six by autumn 2022.
A330 Family: Production remains at an average monthly production
rate of two per month.
Airbus is protecting its ability to further adapt as the market evolves.
