- Airbus delivered 72 aircraft in September and says its overall delivery target is around 870 jets.
- Twenty jets were moved from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, and the company offered concessions to airlines to keep A321neo deliveries flowing after an industrial glitch involving parts for the A321neo and shortages of engines and other components caused delays; Airbus also advised airlines to inspect A330 jets for loose objects after a tool was found in a horizontal tailplane.
