Airbus closed 2025 with a 23 percent increase in net profits after selling 793 commercial aircraft. This year, the manufacturer could achieve record sales with a target of delivering 870 units.

This was announced on Thursday, February 19, by Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury, in a statement announcing the company’s annual results. The executive stated: “2025 was a historic year, characterized by very strong demand for our products and services.”

With the estimated sale of 870 commercial aircraft this year, profits would exceed the €5.2 billion achieved in 2025. Faury highlighted: “These positive results were obtained in a complex and changing operating environment,” referring to the obstacles that both Airbus and its rival Boeing have faced since the COVID-19 pandemic.

He also mentioned the work they are doing to improve their aircraft and adapt to new market demands, particularly regarding fuel consumption and environmental responsibility.

Airbus and Ecocopter have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to start collaborating on the launch of urban air mobility services in Chile, Ecuador and Peru, as reported in a statement.

The companies have highlighted that this is an important step towards the co-creation of a functioning urban air mobility (UAM) ecosystem in the region.

With this agreement, the firms will explore and define scenarios for launching air mobility operations, especially in Ecuador, Chile and Peru. This includes joint activities to develop UAM operations on the continent, as well as ways to approach early use cases and pilot cities and regions.

“With 20 years of experience operating helicopters and five years operating drones, this association is a natural step for us. We seek to be a relevant player in the UAM ecosystem and the projects that we will develop together with Airbus will bring us closer to this goal”, highlighted the CEO of Ecocopter, Marcelo Rajchman.

For his part, the head of Partnerships and Execution of Airbus Strategies for the UAM, Balkiz Sarihan, pointed out that with this alliance the companies take “concrete steps in the co-creation of the UAM ecosystem” and in the decarbonization roadmap.

“This partnership leverages Airbus’ expertise in innovative vertical flight technologies, and Ecocopter’s extensive operational history and innovative culture,” added Sarihan.

Founded in 2003, Ecocopter specializes in highly complex aerial work missions in South America. Its fleet of Airbus helicopters, made up of 16 H125s, two H135s and three H145s, is characterized by its great versatility and performs missions ranging from offshore transport, mining support, medical evacuation, firefighting and nearly the full range of aerial work missions.

The suspension, for five years, of all retaliation tariffs was mutually agreed by the US aircraft manufacturers Boeing and the European company Airbus. The news was released within the framework of the face-to-face summit between the European Union and the United States, which was held this Tuesday in Brussels.

The commercial dispute that has kept the two giants of world aviation at odds for 17 years comes to an end with this decision. Both parties agreed to suspend the tariffs with the idea of ​​not reestablishing these sanctions.

The governments of the United States have traditionally preferred to deal separately with each of the member countries of the European Union. However, in his visit to Brussels Joe Biden was received by the European authorities, the president of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen and the president of the Council, Charles Michel.

Both, the EU and the United States, are committed to working together to address China’s economic and technological expansion in the aeronautical sector. According to the joint statement, published after the meeting, both partners agree to settle, before the end of the year, their differences on the tariffs that Trump imposed on European steel and aluminum.

In the statement, the authorities are also responsible for ensuring “the viability of our steel and aluminum industries and dealing with excess capacity.” As well as the convergence of their views on the need for a major reform of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and a more modernized multilateral trading system, adapting it to the needs and difficulties posed by the digitization of economies.

In the statement, they also refer to the creation of the Trade and Technology Council, which will aim to be a body for frequent and systematic political consultations that allows technological advances for a greater convergence between the two economies.
