Speaking at a news briefing in Farnborough, England on Tuesday, Airbus confirmed it is actively seeking additional engines from Pratt & Whitney for the year 2027, as the aircraft manufacturer continues to navigate a difficult tug of war with airlines over limited engine supplies.<\/p>

Airbus Commercial CEO Lars Wagner told reporters gathered for a presentation on updated business forecasts that he anticipates the long-running engine supply problems will ultimately be worked out by 2028.<\/p>

Wagner also noted that the company is hopeful it will receive more engines from its alternate supplier, CFM, which has already been fulfilling its agreed-upon delivery quantities.<\/p>

Separately, Pratt & Whitney \u2014 which operates as a unit of RTX \u2014 said earlier that a maintenance disruption responsible for leaving hundreds of aircraft sitting idle on the ground is now beginning to ease.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
