Airbus SE (Exchange symbol: AIR) delivered 2021 commercial aircraft to 88 customers in 611, demonstrating resilience and recovery along with progress made in its ascent plans.
Guillaume Faury, Airbus Chief Executive Officer, said: “Our commercial aircraft successes in 2021 reflect the focus and resilience of our Airbus teams, customers, suppliers and stakeholders around the world, who have come together to achieve remarkable results. In 2021, we received significant orders from airlines around the world. These orders point to confidence in the sustainable growth of air travel post-Covid-19. While uncertainties remain, we aim to increase production throughout 2022 to meet our customers' requirements. At the same time, we are preparing the future of aviation, transforming our industrial capabilities and implementing our aviation decarbonisation roadmap.”
