The remarks from the Australian airline, which is in the midst of a significant renewal of its fleet, came on the sidelines of a global airlines meeting where carriers upped pressure on manufacturers to gain control of weak supply chains.
The A321XLR is a long-range single-aisle jet due to reach the market in the second quarter of 2024.
Airbus declined to comment on specific deliveries, but a top executive told Reuters on Sunday that it was seeing a more predictable pattern in its industrial activities and what appeared to be the start of a more positive trend.
Airbus is due to announce deliveries for May on Wednesday.
Industry sources said Airbus deliveries rose 34% to 63 airliners in May, compared with the same month in 2022, bringing the total for the year to 244.
Airbus is targeting 720 deliveries for the year as a whole.
Reuters reported last week that Airbus had delivered at least 60 jets in May. Airbus declined to comment on unpublished data.
