Airbus closes in on next A320 milestone

摘要

Airbus appears likely to deliver its 9,000th A320-family aircraft during August or early September, analysis of the air-framer's production backlog shows. The manufacturer had delivered a total of 8,951 jets from the single-aisle family by the end of July. These comprised 8,037 of the A320ceo models plus 914 of the re-engined A320neo variants. Airbus delivered 52 A320-family jets in July and, given the single-aisle production rate, this suggests the 9,000 mark will be reached towards the end of this month.
