PARIS, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- Airbus' net income in 2022 rose by one percent year-on-year, reaching 4.2 billion euros (4.5 billion U.S. dollars), the company announced Thursday in a press release.
According to the company's annual results, its consolidated revenues last year increased 13 percent to 58.8 billion. Revenues from its commercial aircraft activities, Airbus Helicopters, and Airbus Defence and Space, were up 15 percent, 8 percent and 11 percent year-on-year, respectively.
"The industry continued its recovery during 2022, with air traffic increasing and airlines turning to their long-term fleet planning. We delivered solid financials despite an adverse operating environment that prevented our supply chain from recovering at the pace we expected," Airbus Chief Executive Officer Guillaume Faury said.
With the deliveries of a total of 661 commercial aircraft, 344 units of helicopters, and 10 A400M airlifters through last year, the company's full-year 2022 adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) reached 5.6 billion euros, Airbus said.
For the year 2023, Airbus sets out an objective of 720 commercial aircraft deliveries. (1 euro = 1.07 U.S. dollar) ■
