Airbus increases A320 rate and adjusts A330 for NEO transition
“As an aircraft manufacturer, it is our role, for our employees, partners, customers and investors to anticipate market demands whilst delivering on orders and managing revenues,” said Didier Evrard, Executive Vice President Programmes. “Given the success of the A320 Family, both CEO and NEO, we work closely with our supply chain, assess our manufacturing capabilities and decide on the most appropriate rate.
"On widebodies we are adjusting A330 production in preparation for transition to NEO while in parallel the A350 XWB is on a steep ramp-up.”
With over 11,500 Airbus single aisle aircraft sold and more than 6,400 delivered to 317 operators, the A320 family includes the A319, A320 and A321.
