During a ceremony in Toulouse to celebrate delivery of Finnair’s first A350-900 on Wednesday, Airbus CEO Fabrice Brégier reported that the program remains “perfectly on track” for delivery of 15 airplanes this year. Finnair’s A350 marked the seventh delivery since certification and the first to a European operator. Brégier said also that Airbus will more than double deliveries in 2016, and will reach a monthly rate of 10 aircraft by the beginning of 2018.
