Airbus SE notched an improvement in February aircraft deliveries from January’s weak showing, a sign of progress in coping with supplier challenges that have hindered output at the European planemaker.
The company likely delivered 35 to 39 jetliners last month, based on estimates from aviation consultancy Cirium Ascend. Its January total of 25 fell below Boeing Co.’s — marking a rare loss to its US rival in the closely-watched metric.
