PARIS — Airbus has quietly set an internal delivery target of 900 aircraft for this year, even as the company’s official public guidance remains at 870 jets, according to industry sources familiar with the matter.
The European aircraft manufacturer delivered 89 planes in June, reflecting a growing momentum as the company works through a backlog of delayed deliveries to China and sees some relief from ongoing disruptions in engine supply chains, the sources said.
Bloomberg separately reported that Airbus handed over roughly 90 jets during the month of June.
Airbus did not respond when contacted for comment on the internal goal or its delivery outlook.
