Airbus remains highly confident in its target of around 870 commercial aircraft deliveries this year, despite a quality issue that has affected the A321neo. Lars Wagner, head of the company’s aircraft manufacturing division, told Reuters.
The problem with fuselage sections has, according to industry sources, contributed to slower-than-expected deliveries in September.
Wagner is also optimistic that the first A350F can be delivered in the second half of next year after nine months of flight testing.
