Airbus softens output goal, blames Pratt & Whitney
Bangkok Post
|February 20, 2026
Airbus softened its main jet production target yesterday, blaming engine maker Pratt & Whitney for failing to strike a crucial supply agreement, in the latest sign of tension between plane makers and their main suppliers over shortages.
The world’s largest plane maker said it was facing “significant shortages” of engines from the RTX engine subsidiary, which faces competition for scarce parts after being hit by a backlog of inspections following a production problem.
The European aerospace group now targets a narrowbody output rate of between 70 and 75 jets a month by the end of next year, stabilising at 75 a month beyond 2027. It had previously predicted a monthly rate of 75 in 2027, up from around 60 now.
Airbus has been at odds with suppliers including Pratt & Whitney over delays for months, and the two companies have said they have yet to conclude a deal on volumes for either 2026 or 2027. Usually such agreements are set some 18 months ahead.
