Lars Wagner Named CEO of Airbus Commercial Aircraft Effective 2026

Lars Wagner to Lead Airbus Commercial Aircraft Starting 2026
Airbus has announced that Lars Wagner, the current CEO of MTU Aero Engines AG, will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of its Commercial Aircraft division beginning January 1, 2026. Wagner is expected to join the Airbus Executive Committee and commence his transition in November 2025, facilitating a seamless handover from the incumbent CEO, Christian Scherer. Scherer will remain in his position until the end of 2025, concluding a distinguished tenure at Airbus that spans over forty years and includes numerous senior leadership roles.
Extensive Aerospace Experience and Strategic Expertise
Wagner brings extensive experience from the aerospace industry to his new position. Since January 2023, he has led MTU Aero Engines AG in Munich, having previously held key roles within the company such as Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President for OEM operations. His earlier career includes management positions at Airbus facilities across Bremen, Hamburg, and Toulouse. Wagner’s academic credentials include degrees in mechanical and aeronautical engineering, complemented by an MBA, equipping him with a strong technical foundation and strategic insight essential for his forthcoming responsibilities.
Challenges and Expectations Ahead
Wagner’s appointment arrives at a critical juncture for Airbus, which continues to grapple with significant challenges in meeting its ambitious production targets. Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury recently highlighted concerns over the company’s ability to scale deliveries in line with soaring market demand. Across the aerospace sector, growth in aircraft deliveries has lagged behind rising demand, placing considerable pressure on manufacturers to resolve production bottlenecks. Observers are closely monitoring how Airbus will navigate these operational hurdles and respond to evolving global trade dynamics that are reshaping the competitive environment.
Wagner’s combined expertise in engine manufacturing and aircraft production is anticipated to provide valuable perspective as Airbus seeks to address these complexities. His return to Airbus marks a new chapter for the Commercial Aircraft division, which faces intensified competition from rivals such as Boeing. Boeing’s optimistic projections for future airliner demand set a challenging benchmark for Airbus, raising the stakes for the company’s performance in the coming years.
As Wagner prepares to take the helm, his leadership will be pivotal in guiding Airbus Commercial Aircraft through shifting market demands and operational challenges, with industry stakeholders closely watching for progress on production and delivery objectives.
