Airbus delivered 46 jets in July, books big China order
Aircraft giant, Airbus delivered 46 jets in July, bringing physical deliveries so far this year to 343 aircraft – just under halfway towards the planemaker’s revised full-year target of 700.
Airbus also said in a monthly update that it had formally booked a major order for almost 300 jets from the main airlines in China, announced last month. [L1N2YI0M4]
However, it canceled orders for four A350s from Aeroflot, representing 30% of the outstanding orders for the jet from the sanctions-hit Russian airline.
July’s tally of 46 deliveries, held back by a shortage of engines, confirmed a Reuters report last week that Airbus had delivered just over 45 jetliners in July.
