A350 delivery shortfall widens as Airbus misses rate targets, ceding momentum to Boeing 787

Airbus's A350 programme faces a multi‑year industrial delivery shortfall as handovers lag the company's ambitious production‑rate targets, creating a widening gap in widebody output and adding pressure to its production roadmap. Boeing's 787 ramp is accelerating in parallel, quietly shifting the widebody balance.
