Then clearly A320 production is already running faster than 42 per month. Airbus made plans long ago to raise production to 46 narrowbodies per month (= 138 per quarter). |

This might be an odd question but I'm curious to know how are productions measured? Per Frame assembly, First Flights or Deliveries per month?

We can guess that Airbus probably has kept the -ceo production rate unchanged (or almost unchanged) to meet strong demand, while -neo assembly started. This amounts to a rate increase, so far hidden by -neo delivery delays. |
