Airbus Ends February With Four Orders, 103 Cancellations in 2019
(Bloomberg) -- Two months into 2019, Airbus SE has lost orders for 103 jetliners and garnered a grand total of four new sales -- and those are for the A220 plane manufactured in Canada by Bombardier Inc.
The deal for the A220s, formally the Bombardier C Series, was Airbus’s only business in February and broke an order drought after January passed without any sales.
Jetliner cancellations for the year include 31 A380 superjumbos after Airbus said the program would be wound up early. It also recorded cancellations for 42 A350 wide-bodies and 25 single-aisle A320neos, as well as five A220s.
