Optimistic future prospects for the aircraft manufacturer Airbus will inspire the entire European aviation industry on Thursday.
The Airbus shares jumped 6.3 percent to 103.86 euros to the top of the European selection index Euro Stoxx 50. The daily high of 104.32 euros meant the highest level since mid-April.
The share certificates of the engine manufacturers MTU and Rolls-Royce rose in price by 2.5 and 3.3 percent respectively in the wake of the Airbus rally.
The titles of the aviation suppliers Safran and Meggitt were up 3.2 and 3 percent respectively.
Airbus expects the commercial aircraft market to recover to pre-Covid-19 levels between 2023 and 2025.
For the production of the medium-haul jets of the A320 model family, this means that Airbus is assuming 64 aircraft per month by the second quarter of 2023.
Suppliers should be prepared for a scenario of 70 aircraft by early 2024 and, if the market continues to recover, of up to 75 aircraft by 2025.
Investors remain skeptical about Lufthansa
However, the spark only spread to the airlines to a limited extent.
The shares of Deutsche Lufthansa rose only moderately by 0.7 percent.
Investors took more advantage of competitors: The share price of the Dutch-French competitor Air France - KLM rose by 1.4 percent.
However, both values are still a long way from the pre-crisis level.
Ryanair papers were 1.8 percent more expensive.
The low-cost airline from Ireland has long since left its pre-Corona level behind.
Analyst Sandy Morris from investment bank Jefferies praised the goals for the A320 and spoke of a positive surprise.
His colleague Yan Derocles from investment bank Oddo BHF said Airbus had an optimistic vision of its future aircraft manufacturing.
The planned production rates would be between 10 and 20 percent above his previous estimates.
