Airbus Deliveries Jump 36% for Third Straight Monthly Gain
Airbus SE delivered 49 new jets to its customers last month, overcoming travel restrictions and virus-afflicted demand to post its third straight monthly increase.
The tally for July — all narrow-body aircraft — marked a 36% increase from the 36 handovers recorded in June, according to a statement Thursday. Airbus registered four new orders during the month.
Deliveries were boosted by a system that delegates some essential customer checks to the manufacturer’s own engineers, people familiar with the matter said earlier, asking for anonymity discussing data that hadn’t yet been made public.
