Guillaume Faury, CEO of Airbus, expressed optimism about engine deliveries improving to meet the company's 770 aircraft delivery target by the end of 2024. Speaking at the European Civil Aeronautics Summit in Brussels on November 19, Faury noted that while engine supplies, particularly CFM International LEAP-1A engines for the A320neo family, remain tight, he expects CFM International to provide sufficient engines.
Faury cautioned that conditions are “tight” and that a full assessment will be available at the end of November. This could potentially lead to another revision of delivery targets in a few weeks.
According to data from Ch-aviation, Airbus delivered 455 A319neo, A320neo, and A321neo aircraft in 2024. Of these, 244 were equipped with LEAP-1A engines and 211 with Pratt & Whitney's PW1100G engines.
