Airbus strives to halve quality issues to avoid disrupting production ramp-up

Airbus launched a quality moonshot to reduce non-quality by 50% to support ramping production to 1,100 aircraft annually, focusing on lead time, rework, and delivery quality. Airbus aims to reduce non-quality by 50% over two years with a 25% cut each year. The goal supports ramping production to 1,100 aircraft annually by decade-end.
