Airbus' new commercial CEO pledges A350 production lift, backs larger A220 as 2025 deliveries reach 793 and backlog tops 8,754
Airbus' incoming commercial-division CEO said he will prioritise higher production rates — including increased A350 throughput — and supports development of a larger A220 variant. The comments coincide with Airbus delivering 793 aircraft in 2025 and closing the year with a record 8,754-aircraft backlog driven by the A320 family and widebodies.
