Airbus faces an unprecedented challenge in ramping up production to meet 2018 delivery targets following engine delays and must eventually overhaul an outdated manufacturing system, the planemaker's new president told staff on Friday.

"We have a battle plan in place for this year and the engine manufacturers are working hard to meet their commitments. Still, we know it will be challenging," Airbus Commercial Aircraft President Guillaume Faury said in an interview for internal circulation, contained in a staff memo seen by Reuters.
