PARIS (Reuters) - Airbus deliveries fell 9% in September to 50 aircraft, compared with the same month last year, the European planemaker said on Wednesday.
The figure, which confirms a recent Reuters report, brings deliveries so far this year to 497 jetliners, up 2% from 488 at the nine-month stage a year ago.
Airbus is targeting 770 deliveries for the full year after reducing its goal in July, citing shortages of engines and other parts as the aerospace industry's supply chain struggles to recover from the pandemic.
Reuters, quoting industry sources, reported on Friday that Airbus had delivered 50 jets in September, leaving it facing a sprint towards the finish line in the traditionally busy fourth quarter.
