Flugzeugbauer: Airbus meldet schrumpfenden Umsatz, hält aber Ziele stabil
Der europäische Flugzeugbauer will 2026 so viele neue Maschinen wie nie ausliefern. Im dritten Quartal blieben die Geschäftszahlen allerdings hinter den Erwartungen zurück.
Strasbourg-based Airbus, the world's largest aircraft manufacturer, announced on Wednesday that despite a weaker summer business for 2026, it expects to meet its record year targets. The European DAX firm said it anticipates around 870 commercial aircraft deliveries, slightly higher than the 863 jets delivered in the peak year of 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, aircraft deliveries, revenue, and adjusted operating profit (adjusted EBIT) declined in the third quarter. Nevertheless, the company aims to increase its adjusted operating profit to around €7.5 billion for the year. In July to September, Airbus recorded revenue of nearly €17.5 billion, a 2% decrease compared to the previous year.
Analysts had predicted a rise in revenue. The business profit declined by almost nine percent to nearly €1.8 billion. Meanwhile, the group's surplus also grew by a fifth, thanks to positive non-recurring effects, to nearly €1.3 billion.
