For 2019, Airbus estimates that it will reach a monthly production of 60 aircraft from the A320 family. And the production of Airbus A350 XWB aircraft exceeded the threshold of 10 aircraft per month.

Let us not forget that 2018 was the year that Beluga XL operated the first flight and the certification process began. Introducing it into the operational service will increase the production rate for the A350 model.

On 14 February, Airbus will also present the financial results! That being said, a lot of success in 2019!
