Airbus delivers aircraft number 10,000

摘要

Forty-two years after Air France received the first Airbus aircraft, the European manufacturer has celebrated its 10,000th delivery, with the handover of an A350-900 to Singapore Airlines (SIA). The twinjet - the carrier's sixth example - was accepted during a 14 October ceremony in Toulouse. It was somewhat appropriate for SIA to be the recipient of the landmark delivery, as the Asia-Pacific region has represented the single biggest market for Airbus in delivery terms.
