European Manufacturer Faces Challenging Final Quarter

Airbus delivered 72 commercial aircraft in September, an increase of 26% over August, but its order backlog declined by 58 aircraft during the month. The manufacturer recorded just 17 new orders, while adjustments to existing contracts included three net cancellations and several changes in customer associations.
