Guidance on key objectives
2024 targets: around 770 commercial aircraft deliveries, EBIT Adjusted of around €5.5 billion, and Free Cash Flow before Customer Financing of around €3.5 billion.
Commercial aircraft delivery target for 2024 revised from around 800 to around 770 units.
Guidance includes around €0.9 billion in charges related to space programs, to be recorded in Q2/H1 2024.
Ramp-up to 75 A320 Family aircraft per month now expected in 2027, delayed from previous plans.
Guidance assumes no further major disruptions to global economy, air traffic, or supply chain.
Market trends and strategic opportunities
Strong demand for commercial aircraft persists, but supply chain constraints, especially in engines, aerostructures, and cabin equipment, limit ability to meet demand.
Space business remains complex and competitive, with ongoing evaluation of restructuring, cooperation, portfolio review, and M&A options.
High-tech space business faces strong competition and development risks, prompting management changes and technical reviews.
