Safran CEO says priority is to meet existing Airbus supply agreement

PARIS, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Jet engine maker CFM will do its best to meet any request for additional engines from Airbus this year, over and above agreed quantities, but its priority is to meet its existing supply commitments, Safran SAF.PA CEO Olivier Andries said on Friday.

Industry sources have said Airbus AIR.PA is at odds with Pratt & Whitney RTX.N over engine supplies for 2026, putting at risk its main production goal. Anbdries told reporters, however, CFM's own forecasts did not include any provision for increasing its share of the market. Safran co-owns CFM with GE Aerospace GE.N.
