Paris: European plane maker Airbus said Wednesday that it was sticking to its full-year forecasts for now, including delivery of around 820 aircraft, even though uncertainty over US tariffs has roiled supply chains worldwide.

"We maintain the guidance that excludes tariffs, which are adding complexity and remain uncertain in terms of implementation, scope and duration," chief executive Guillaume Faury said in a statement.

"We are closely monitoring and assessing the situation, but it is too early to quantify the impact today."

The cautious outlook came as Airbus announced a 33 percent rise in first-quarter net profit to 793 million euros ($900 million).

The company counts several major US airlines as clients and has an extensive manufacturing base in the United States.
