Airbus shares tumbled nearly 10% on Monday after reports revealed the world's largest planemaker had identified a fresh manufacturing fault affecting dozens of its best-selling A320-family jets, reigniting market concern over production stability just weeks before the company enters a crucial year-end delivery sprint.
Paris-listed Airbus stock slipped to the bottom of Europe's Stoxx 600 index in early trading, recording its steepest single-day decline since June 2024 as investors reacted to renewed uncertainty surrounding aircraft handovers and operational execution.
