Airbus and U.S. rival Boeing were locked in a dead heat for deliveries for the first two months of the year, but the European planemaker has a tougher task to meet annual forecasts amid ongoing supply woes.
In February, Airbus delivered 46 jets, up from 20 in January, for a total of 66 in the first two months of 2023. That compares with 79 in the same period of 2022.28 aircraft in February, down from 38 in January amid a pause in 787 deliveries.
In the 10 years to 2018 - ignoring distortions from the Boeing MAX crisis in 2019 and COVID-19 disruptions since 2020 - Boeing secured an average of 13% of its annual deliveries in the first two months, while Airbus averaged 12%, Reuters calculates.
