Briefing
Engine shortages have been directly constraining Airbus output: daily WIP tracking showed "shortages curbing A220/A320 output" which has slowed narrowbody production and deliveries. (https://hype.aero/?story=917ab74e-173b-480f-9ae7-050246408f0a)
Airbus's delivery cadence has slipped against annual targets — 373 handovers in the first seven months of 2025, more than 20% below the 820-jet guidance — amplifying the impact of any engine backlog. (https://hype.aero/?story=5fb508da-3245-400b-b675-0a843c5e14bb)
Earlier reporting warned the engine crunch (LEAP-1A and GTF) forced OEMs to slow single-aisle handovers and created significant undelivered inventory, so Safran's catch-up progress has direct implications for OEM schedules and airline fleet timing.
