By GlobalDataThe company is expected to post challenging results as there are concerns that it may not meet its target of 800 aircraft deliveries this year due to operational issues.
Based on delivery numbers up until September, the company will have to deliver 37% of its total annual deliveries in the fourth quarter in order to make its target.
