Guillaume Faury, Airbus Chief Executive Officer, said: “In 2022 we served 84 customers with 661 deliveries, an increase of eight percent compared to 2021. That’s obviously less than we were targeting but given the complexity of the operating environment I want to thank the teams and our partners for the hard work and the ultimate result.
“The significant order intake covering all our aircraft families including freighters, reflects the strength and competitiveness of our product line. We continue our ramp-up trajectory to deliver on our backlog.”
