Airbus is reportedly facing challenges in increasing the production of its A350 aircraft and may delay its A350F freighter program by up to a year. According to Reuters, the company might not be able to raise A350 output above six units per month in 2025. Despite these setbacks, Airbus has been benefiting from growing orders for the A350 Family.

The company has been capitalizing on issues faced by Boeing with its 777X project, although Airbus has not publicly commented on these difficulties. Airbus had previously announced plans to double its monthly production rate of the A350 to 12 units by 2028.
