PARIS, June 24 (Reuters) - Airbus on Monday
lowered its 2024 total delivery target to around 770 airplanes
from around 800 and pushed back a targeted deadline for reaching
production of 75 narrow-body airplanes per month to 2027 from
2026.
Europe's largest aerospace group also said it was taking
charges of around 900 million euros on certain
telecommunications, navigation and observation space programmes.
"We are ramping up but more slowly than expected,"
Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury told reporters.
The downward revision in industrial forecasts comes
weeks after Reuters reported that Airbus was facing a new set of
output delays as it grappled with increased parts shortages.
