FARNBOROUGH, England, ‌July ​21 (Reuters) - ​Airbus said on Tuesday it ‌was pushing for more ⁠engines from Pratt & Whitney ‌for 2027 following ‌a tug of war with airlines over supplies ​and hoped to receive more from ⁠alternate supplier CFM, which was ​already meeting its agreed quantities.

Airbus Commercial CEO ​Lars Wagner told ‌reporters at a news briefing on ⁠fresh business forecasts that he expected protracted ⁠problems over engine supplies ​to be resolved by 2028.

RTX unit Pratt & Whitney said ‌earlier that maintenance disruption that has left ‌hundreds of ⁠aircraft grounded ‌was easing.
