LONDON, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Airbus executives said on Thursday they were confident they would meet a delivery target of 75 A320 jets a month in 2026 as they said they would continue to get through a company backlog of 8,600 planes.

Chief Executive Guillaume Faury added there were still supply chain issues but the situation was improving, as the planemaker has seen a return in the market for widebody planes and an overall recovery in business since the pandemic. (Reporting by Joanna Plucinska Editing by Chris Reese)
