Airbus Sold 158 Planes To End April

Remember that you can Fly WestJet and Save.

Airbus sold 158 aircraft in the four months to end-April. It delivered 153 aircraft over the same period.

Deliveries have apparently not so far been affected by wildcat strikes at some of the country's production factories over planned job cuts, figures released by Airbus showed.

The planemaker delivered 38 aircraft in April, maintaining its production rate at more than one plane a day.

Airbus is the world's largest commercial aircraft producer, but lost its leadership position in the race for new orders to its US rival Boeing last year.

Cumulative 2007 new orders of 158 aircraft include 24 sold in April. All except one of the aircraft sold in April -- an A340-600 long-range wide-body jet sold to an unidentified buyer -- were single-aisle aircraft from the A320 family.
