Investing in the Future The Company is investing in and accelerating its efforts on five complementary strategic pathways to reduce its environmental footprint, in support of the overall sector ambition, as highlighted above. Overall, a major portion of the Company capital expenditures (CapEx), R&T, and R&D expenses is linked to its commercial aircraft activities and the realisation of these five decarbonisation pathways. In 2022, the total R&D spend of the Company amounted to €3.1 billion (2021: €2.7 billion). Progress and Performance In 2022, the Company delivered 661 commercial aircraft. Of note, the emissions of five A330-200 aircraft destined to A330 MRTT production are excluded from the commercial aircraft perimeter and included in the military aircraft perimeter as part of the “other products” category. Based on an average life-time in service of around 22 years (average life-times specific to each aircraft type were used in the calculation), and SAF uptake assumptions as per IEA-SDS scenario 2020, the total CO 2 emissions for these products over their anticipated life-time is estimated at around 425MtCO 2 e, which translates to an average efficiency of 64.4gCO 2 e per passenger-kilometre. In 2021, the Company delivered 611 aircraft with resulting estimated life-time emissions of around 400MtCO 2 e and average efficiency of 66.3gCO 2 e per passenger-kilometre.
