Airbus avoids pandemic restraints by using e-delivery

London — Airbus managed to expand deliveries to its airline customers last month, even as the coronavirus pandemic weighed on travel demand, people familiar with the matter said.

Airbus declined to comment on the July report, while acknowledging that shipments are being bolstered by the e-delivery option. The process “continues to facilitate our ability to deliver aircraft during an unprecedented time of travel restrictions and quarantines”, said Stefan Schaffrath, an Airbus spokesperson.

Jefferies International analyst Sandy Morris said the shipment of 40 A320-series jets would be a positive sign, bringing handovers into line with Airbus’s reduced monthly production rate. The company delivered 31 of the narrow-body planes in June. Airbus CFO Dominik Asam said on an earnings call last week that deliveries should align with production this quarter. The company is set to build 51 aircraft a month based on current levels of output, including A320s, the smaller A220 narrow-body, and larger twin-aisle models.
