Earnings per share are half of what they were a year ago amid problems in its supply chain which has had led to a back up of jets waiting for delivery.

Along with the passenger jet delivery issues problems with its military transporter plane has seen Airbus take charges of more than £3.1bn.

Tom Enders, chief executive has described delays to the A400m programme as “frustrating.”

Airbus will maintain a production target of 10 A350s per month by the end of 2018, but admits the ramp-up is becoming “increasingly challenging”.

Commercial aircraft revenues rose by 1% to £6.7 billion over the quarter, earnings fell by more than 30% to £225 million.
