Airbus closed 2009 on a positive commercial note with orders for 85 aircraft received in December–27 from Asia-Pacific customers, including 16 A330-200s for China Eastern Airlines, 10 A320s for Air New Zealand and one A320 for Zest Airways of the Philippines. Despite the continuing weakness of the world economy, the European airframer expects to maintain 2010 orders and deliveries at 2009 levels, especially to China.

Last year, Airbus delivered 498 aircraft, establishing a new company record for a single year–up from 483 delivered in 2008. The 2009 figure includes 402 A320 family aircraft, 86 A330/340s–both records for a single year–and 10 A380s. In addition, its military aircraft division delivered 16 light- and medium-transport aircraft.
