Airbus had aimed to increase output from 50 to 75 a month by 2026, but the target has now been pushed back a year.The A320neo family has outsold the rival <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-737-max-timeline-history-full-details-2019-9">Boeing 737 Max</a> since 2019, when the latter model was grounded following two crashes in which 346 people died.Further problems at Boeing arose in January, when a door plug came off an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/alaska-airlines-blowout-passenger-lost-shoes-and-socks-to-gaping-hole-2024-3">Alaska Airlines 737 Max</a> in midair.In the wake of that incident, Boeing's biggest customer, United Airlines, spoke of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/united-ryanair-execs-frustrated-at-boeing-plane-delivery-delays-2024-2">plans to switch some orders to Airbus jets</a>.However, Airbus has seemingly struggled to meet the increased demand.Overall, it marks further problems for airline customers, because Boeing has also reduced its output amid its ongoing crisis.The Federal Aviation Administration has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-737-max-plane-safety-faa-production-timeline-2024-6">capped production of 737 Max jets</a> as a result of the Alaska Airlines blowout.

It's expected to be carved up with parts sold to both Boeing and Airbus.Airbus' problems also extend to its space division, where it announced charges of 900 million euros ($965 million). Its guidance update said it would "evaluate all strategic options" including potential restructuring and M&amp;A options.

Airbus may have benefited from Boeing's struggles, but it isn't smooth sailing for the rival aviation giant

The Defence Ministry on Friday inked a nearly Rs 20,000 crore contract with <keyword id="6356166" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Airbus" source="Orion">Airbus</keyword> Defence and Space of Spain to procure 56 C-295 medium transport aircraft which will replace Avro-748 planes of the <keyword id="15141" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Air-Force" source="Orion">Indian Air Force</keyword>. The long-pending procurement was cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Security two weeks back. "Contract signed between #MinistryOfDefence and @AirbusDefence &amp;Space, Spain for procurement of 56 C-295 transport aircraft for the #IAF," Defence Ministry Spokesperson A Bharat Bhushan Babu tweeted. Under the deal, 16 aircraft will be delivered in a flyaway condition by the Airbus Defence and Space within 48 months of signing the contract. The remaining 40 planes will be manufactured in India by a consortium of the Airbus Defence and Space and Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) within 10 years of signing the contract, officials said. The C-295 MW aircraft is a transport plane of 5-10 tonne capacity. This is the first project of its kind in which a military aircraft will be manufactured in India by a private company. "All 56 aircraft will be installed with indigenous electronic warfare suite," the ministry had said on September 8 after the procurement was cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Security. The in-principle approval for the Avro replacement programme was accorded around nine years back. A large number of detail parts, sub-assemblies and major component assemblies of aerostructure are scheduled to be manufactured in India. The ministry had said that before completion of the deliveries, a servicing facility for C-295 MW aircraft is scheduled to be set up in India.
