   Airbus has to further scale down the delivery of new aircraft, because the   
   supply of parts is still not in order. This is reported by Reuters news agency   
   based on sources within the company.   
       
   These are mainly aircraft from the A320neo family, by far the most important   
   production unit. In addition to the delivery of new aircraft, the supply of   
   spare parts is also halted.   
       
   The Indian airline IndiGo, the largest user of A320s (around 250 aircraft),   
   has to ground ten percent of its fleet for this reason. The company will   
   therefore temporarily lease Boeing 777s from Turkish Airlines.   
       
   Airbus and competitor Boeing are currently struggling with the supply chain   
   not functioning properly: the delivery of parts. As a result, the assembly of   
   new aircraft is delayed. Both companies also suffer from a shortage of   
   personnel.   
       
   According to Reuters, the European manufacturer must outperform itself to meet   
   the delivery targets of 2022 and Airbus is already taking into account the   
   delivery of aircraft later than planned for next year.   
       
   Last July, Airbus announced that it would shift the planned production of 65   
   aircraft from the A320neo family from the summer of 2023 to early 2024. In   
   2025, output should then each 75 units per month.
