"We originally anticipated that aviation would recover sometime between 2023-2025, but what we saw in 2023 was, along with the single-aisle market, a much earlier and much stronger return of widebody aircraft than we expected”, said Christian Scherer, Airbus' new CEO, Commercial Aircraft.
"Congratulations to our commercial and regional teams, and most importantly, a big thank you to our customers for their trust and support. We have never sold so many A320 or A350 aircraft in one year, let alone welcomed seven new customers for the A350-1000. Travel is back and there is considerable momentum!".
Christian added: “I am proud to say that 735 more fuel efficient Airbus aircraft are currently flying, paving the way for our lower carbon future. The orders we win today are the ones that will support us to invest in innovative and even more sustainable solutions tomorrow."
