Airbus Shares Fall After Report of A350 Aircraft Delays

Dow Jones05-21

By Joe Stonor

Airbus shares slipped Thursday following a report that the aerospace group told airlines to expect delays to deliveries of its A350 aircraft later this decade.

Airbus shares fell 2.9% to 168.28 euros in early European trade, even as European peers like Safran and BAE Systems gained.

Disruption due to staffing issues at a U.S. parts factory recently acquired by the European group contributed to the delays, Reuters reports, citing unnamed sources. Airbus is struggling to secure fuselage sections critical to the A350 from a plant in Kinston, North Carolina, which it bought from Spirit AeroSystems last year, Reuters says.

Responding to a request for comment, Airbus said it never comments on delivery timelines agreed with customers.

The latest delays add to the group's move last year to put off the launch of a freighter version of the A350 to the second half of 2027 as a result of broader supply chain disruption.

Investors reacted negatively given the challenge of Airbus meeting its target of doubling A350 production to 12 by 2028, Jefferies analysts wrote in a note to clients.

The group said it was on track to ship about 870 commercial aircraft to customers this year following its first-quarter results in April.
