Airbus delivered 4 A330 wide-body and 39 A321neo single-aisle jets last month, as the recently discovered quality flaws on some of these models have been contained, CEO Guillaume Faury said

Two new cancellations of two jets brought the total cancellations in the period to 71. Airbus reported 1,305 net orders since January
