The company has had to slow production due to shortages but remains optimistic about meeting its delivery goals for 2026.\n\n  * **Delivery targets:** Airbus aims to deliver around 870 aircraft in 2026, up from 793 in 2025.\n  * **First quarter performance:** Delivered 114 planes between January and March.\n  * **Supply chain challenges:** Continued engine shortages affecting A320 production.\n\n\n\nAirbus CEO Guillaume Faury noted during an earnings call that disagreements with Pratt & Whitney persist. However, he expressed confidence in meeting the delivery targets as Airbus navigates through supply chain complexities.\n\n  * **Investor confidence:** Persistent supply issues have led to a decline in Airbus shares by over 16% year-to-date.\n  * **Competitive landscape:** Boeing has seen growth due to recovery in its passenger jet business and defense segment, with stock up 5%.\n  * **Revenue decline:** Revenue fell by 7% year-over-year to €12.65 billion in Q1.\n  * **Profit margins:** Adjusted EBIT decreased by 52%, reflecting the financial strain from supply chain disruptions.\n\n\n\nAirbus aims for adjusted EBIT of around €7.5 billion and free cash flow before customer financing of about €4.5 billion in 2026.",
