Airbus has seen a spike in production this year. The attention is always focused on the single-aisle markets, because that is the bread and butter for the OEM. It is also the most stressed area because it accounts for most production. Is there anything different this year? There have been hints something is up.
The chart below lays out the production (using first flight as the proxy) for the past three years.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
