Our Industry

Keeping our promise to customers

Airlines and leasing companies around the world build their business plans and sell tickets on their airplanes based on a promise our company makes. That promise is to deliver a safe, high-quality airplane every time and when our customers expect it. When we miss scheduled deliveries, we break this commitment and disrupt our customers’ business.

If we work together and rebuild trust through our actions, our future can be bright. By focusing on safety, quality and predictability, we can deliver on our customer commitments and win new business, keeping our factories busy for years to come.
