Airbus is considering a sharp reduction in the production of its A320 family single-aisle aircraft due to industrial and delivery problems due to the coronavirus crisis, three sources familiar with the matter said on Friday.
Two of the people said Airbus may have to reduce its official monthly rate of 60 A320-famiy jets by as much as 50% for one or two quarters to avoid a glut of undelivered jets.
The third source said no decision had been taken on a reduced figure.
An Airbus spokesperson declined to comment on the information.
