Airbus is preparing for the final quarter of 2025 with plans to increase aircraft deliveries and maintain its annual targets. The company aims to produce about 820 commercial aircraft this year, expecting around €7 billion ($8.22 billion) in EBIT and generating approximately €4.5 billion ($5.3 billion) in free cash flow.
The manufacturer’s delivery ramp-up has been slowed by engine shortages, particularly affecting the Airbus A320 family. Despite these supply chain issues, Airbus remains on track to meet its full-year production goals, according to Reuters.
The company's Defense & Space segment has contributed significantly to its financial performance, nearly doubling adjusted earnings year-on-year due to increased global defense spending. However, total deliveries dropped from 181 last year to 170 this year. Inventory build-up caused by engine delays has tied up working capital and led to negative free cash flow.
