Down 8%: Airbus Delivered 56 New Aircraft In April

The A321neo was the most-delivered plane in April.

270 previous-generation Airbus and Boeing commercial aircraft remain on order, of which 38 are for civilian customers.

Delta Air Lines has previously delivered aircraft to airports, located on foreign soil, to avoid paying tariffs.

The MAX 8 and A320neo are close in terms of fuel efficiency, but there are more factors that influence which airlines choose to buy.

Airbus said that its dealings with Spirit AeroSystems should be finalized sometime in Q3 of this year.

While the ICAO is the main source of aircraft type codes, the IATA also publishes its own list of aircraft codes.

There have been over 900 orders for the small single-aisle jet, with the backlog now around 500 aircraft.

Over the last ten years, Airbus has outgrown Boeing to become the world’s second-largest airplane maker.

While the 777-300ER is a physically bigger aircraft, the A350-1000 feels more spacious onboard.

The European-built model offers some impressive capabilities.
