Delivery Pace: Airbus delivered around 30 aircraft in early December, which is slower than usual as customers await solutions for a fuselage issue.
Year-End Target: With 657 jets delivered from January to November, Airbus needs to deliver over 100 more in December to meet its revised target of approximately 790 planes.
Analyst Concerns: Analysts express doubts about Airbus's ability to accelerate production in the remaining weeks of the year, given fewer than 30 deliveries reported as of last Friday.
Industry Context: The situation comes amid a competitive landscape, with Boeing expected to receive more plane orders this year, highlighting the pressure on Airbus to perform.
