Airbus delivers 142 planes

PARIS, Apr 4 (Reuters): Airbus delivered 142 aircraft in the first quarter, up 12 per cent from the same period last year, industry sources said.

The tally restored deliveries to the same level seen in the first quarter of 2022, following a slow start to 2023, but fell about half a dozen planes short of the European planemaker's initial expectations for the quarter, the sources said.

Airbus does not publish quarterly delivery targets but has said it is targeting 800 deliveries for 2024.
