With record results, Airbus crushes Boeing. The European aeronautics giant generated a historic net profit of 3.8 billion euros in 2023.
Boeing, plunged into a serious industrial crisis linked to recurring quality problems with the 737 Max, lost money for the fifth consecutive year. Airbus has not yet returned to its industrial peak of 2019, the last pre-Covid year, during which it reached a record, with 863 aircraft delivered. But it should reach this level from 2024 with a target set at 800 this year.
