Airbus says it's 'not happy' about issues at rival Boeing
French plane maker Airbus is "not happy" about the multitude of problems facing its U.S. rival Boeing , according to its chief financial officer.

"We're not happy with the issues that our competitor's having. I think it's not helpful for the industry, and if it's not helpful for the industry, it's not helpful for Airbus," Thomas Toepfer told CNBC's Charlotte Reed in an interview Thursday.

"We do think that we have very good products. And we have seen this in the very good order intake that we've seen in 2023. And that is simply continuing also in 2024."

Boeing is under intense pressure after a series of costly and reputationally damaging incidents. A door plug on one of its 737 Max 9 aircraft blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight on Jan. 5, over which it is now facing a lawsuit and a Federal Aviation Administration investigation.

That came after two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 involving the 737 Max, its bestselling aircraft, which dented public trust in the company and raised serious questions about its culture and quality control processes.
