European planemaker Airbus is nearing a deal to sell A220 passenger jets to Polish carrier LOT after a hard-fought contest with Brazilian planemaker Embraer , industry sources said on Friday.

The next two variants of the Airbus A350 to enter service will be the A350F and the A350-1000ULR, both of which are set to have a major impact on the commercial aviation industry. The former of these two models will be a next-generation freighter,

The program is part of Airbus’ efforts to keep the A330neo fresh after it has started to gain some commercial momentum. Airbus is now sold out to 2028 with the aircraft, says Julien Puyou, who heads the manufacturer's widebody programs.

Airbus on Friday named the head of its Canada operation, which oversees the A220 jet, to run its global supply chain.

The CEO of Commerical Aircraft at Airbus has laid the blame for a slow start to annual aircraft deliveries on issues surrounding engine supplies and lavatories.

Airbus chief executive Guillaume Faury predicts passengers will end up paying higher fares if the aerospace industry is forced to upend global supply chains in the face of tariffs. Faury says that if tariffs imposed by different trading blocs become permanent,

Airbus is "cautiously hopeful" that it can meet a 2025 target of 820 deliveries despite bottlenecks that have left nearly 40 completed airframes parked at its factories waiting for engines, the CEO of its core planemaking business said.

Low-cost carrier AirAsia is poised to order about 100 regional jets at the Paris Air Show next week, with the Malaysian airline still undecided between the Airbus SE A220 or Embraer SA’s E2, according to people familiar with the matter.

Airbus is intending to introduce a further take-off weight hike to the A330neo, providing an enhancement to payload-range capability for the twinjet type. Both variants of the A330neo - the -900 and -800 - entered service in 2018 with a maximum take-off weight of 242t,

Airbus revised up its forecast for airplane demand over the next 20 years on Thursday, telling investors and suppliers the air transport industry was expected to ride out the current wave of trade tensions.
