Airbus SAS will probably seek some flexibility from its largest customers on delivery of the A320neo single-aisle jet to help accommodate new buyers, as the company tries to work through a record order book for the plane.
“For a very large order, we could go back to existing customers and see if they could move some of their positions,” sales chief John Leahy said. “If someone wants 100 planes, I’ll go to customers who already have the planes in their backlog and see if I can get them to move their positions.”
