Airbus announced in its full year earnings release that the A350 program had reached the break even point. The A350 remains a key product for Airbus, and has become a popular choice for long-haul, dense routes that require a modern, efficient solution.
Right now, the A350 makes up 8% of the Airbus order backlog. It also estimated that, going forward, the A350 would achieve a monthly delivery rate of nine to 10 aircraft, around what it achieved in 2019.
In the majority of cases, an aircraft program will not be sustainable unless it does break even within the first decade or so.
Overall, the A350 reaching break even point in 2019 is a very good sign for the program. The sales figures aren’t huge, so Airbus is clearly making good money on every aircraft it sells in order to achieve this. It’s a great sign for the program going forward, as every A350 Airbus sells from here on in is pure profit for the company once the manufacturing costs have been covered.
