BloombergWith just a few days left before 2018 is over, Airbus SE said it was working flat-out to reach a goal of delivering 800 airplanes during the year. Airbus chief commercial officer Christian Scherer and his sales team were meanwhile still on the road chasing new orders, Airbus spokesman Stefan Schaffrath said. Closing the gap would mean making the same number of deliveries this month that it managed in December last year. A fire at Airbus’s Premium Aerotec subsidiary in Augsburg, Germany, is not expected to have any impact on airplane deliveries. Airbus is assessing the situation and would work with the aerostructure manufacturer on mitigation measures if necessary, Schaffrath said.
