Airbus Targets €13 Billion Profit Amid Supply Chain Strain

The aviation giant’s financial roadmap relies on scaling aircraft deliveries to navigate a complex industrial landscape. While the company projects a 2023 EBIT of €7.5 billion—climbing from the €7.13 billion baseline established in 2025—the path to its 2029 goal remains tethered to stabilizing its fractured supply chain.
