Airbus To Delay Some A320neo Deliveries - Report

February 5, 2016

Airbus is reported to be renegotiating delivery schedules for the A320neo and has told some airlines the aircraft will be delayed by around two months, as issues with new engines continue.

Airbus missed a 2015 target for delivering the first aircraft due to what it described as issues with documentation for its new Pratt & Whitney engines.

Reuters reported that industry sources have also pointed to delays in deliveries of the newly developed Geared Turbofan engine.

Airbus and Pratt & Whitney confirmed they are in talks with airlines over deliveries, but declined further comment.
