Airbus A321XLR deliveries slowed by Middle East war

Airbus' deliveries of the A321XLR are being slowed by supply chain disruptions caused by the Middle East war, Bloomberg reports, citing sources. Indian airline Indigo – part of Interglobe Aviation – looks set to miss out on nine of the aircraft it had been promised this year.

So far, Indigo - which recently suspended flights to Hong Kong and Shanghai until October - has received two of the nine planes that Airbus was supposed to deliver this year. Those planes have been put into service on routes to and from Turkey and Greece.

Airbus delivery problems are slowing Indigo's ambitious expansion plans, which are also being negatively affected by high fuel prices and airspace restrictions resulting from the war.

Negotiations on new delivery terms are underway between Airbus and Interglobe Aviation.
