Ross Law's questions to Airbus SE (EADSY) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Ross Law from Morgan Stanley sought to confirm if supply chain challenges had worsened, given the cautious tone, and asked about the expected delivery phasing for Q2 2025.
Answer
CEO Guillaume Faury clarified that the supply chain situation has not changed and is consistent with previous statements. He specified that the issue with CFM engines is expected to worsen before it improves by the summer, leading to an increased number of "gliders" (aircraft without engines). This will result in a "soft" delivery profile for the first half of the year, and he remained prudent on giving a precise Q2 delivery number due to the uncertainty of engine availability.
