Airbus posts strong FY2025 results as engine shortages curb A320neo handovers

Airbus closed FY2025 with €73.4bn in revenue and roughly one‑third higher profits, but said Pratt & Whitney engine shortages are constraining A320neo handovers and have pushed its 75-aircraft-per-month production target beyond year-end 2027. Defence & Space revenue rose 11% while Space Systems grew 16.2% and returned to profit.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Airbus delivered scale and diversification in FY2025: consolidated revenue of €73.4bn and profits up ~33%, with Defence & Space revenue +11% and Space Systems up 16.2% returning to profitability — a meaningful shift in non-commercial earnings (see broader European space investment trends) (source:8f20eb96-7941-4258-931e-e8d3fcf8425b).
  • Pratt & Whitney engine shortages are directly limiting A320neo handovers and have delayed the firms 75/month production ramp, a supply-chain constraint that affects airline delivery timing, lessor schedules and market capacity planning; this ties to recent coverage of Airbus delivery volatility and A320 supplier issues (source:6dbb919d-7c2c-45da-b033-0adbbed07ec9) (source:8c30608e-2c59-4a1b-848d-ba5ba987f0bc).
