Airbus forecasting 800 net orders for 2008
By Niall O'Keeffe
Airbus is expecting to achieve a net order total of 800 aircraft in 2008,
exceeding predictions made at the beginning of the year.
Executive vice-president of programmes Tom Williams made the forecast during
an event at Airbus' UK plant at Filton.
He adds that while the order backlog is "significant" at 3,700 aircraft, he
is "under no illusions" that the financial crisis will cause some of this
backlog to "disappear".
A review of the business situation conducted in September concluded that
there was some softening in the "outer years" of the backlog, says Williams,
and that it was "prudent to have a pause in the production ramp-up".
While single-aisle production will rise from 34 aircraft per month to 36 by
December, a plan to increase it further to 38 in spring next year and 40 by
the end of December has been deemed too aggressive, as it would stretch the
supply chain.
Plans to increase A330 production rates from 7.5 per month today to 11 per
month by the end of 2009 have also been modified. The new target rate is 10
per month, the reduction partly a reflection of Boeing's challenge to the US
Air Force tanker decision.
