Airbus performance reflects back-loaded aircraft delivery schedule, ramp up and transitions

Airbus Group CEO Tom Enders said (26-Oct-2016) that "as expected" the company's performance over the first nine months of 2016 "reflects the heavily back-loaded aircraft delivery schedule, ongoing production ramp-up and transition to new versions of our A320 and A330 aircraft".
