(NSI News Source Info) PARIS, France - July 28, 2009: Airbus has said in a statement that they still plan to achieve its target for aircraft sales despite a decision by Russian carrier, Aeroflot, to delay the delivery of some new aircraft. 
The Airbus A320 is a short-to-medium range commercial passenger aircraft manufactured by EADS (Airbus S.A.S.). First delivered in 1988, the A320 pioneered the use of digital fly-by-wire flight control systems in a commercial aircraft.

Passenger airline economy class help fliers identify the best Aeroflot - Airbus A320-200 seats. Check cabin configurations and seating layouts when booking your next airline tickets. Discount airfares and cheap flights offer the best value if fliers locate the best legroom.
Aeroflot claims that they cannot take the delivery of five new Airbus jets because it cannot make up the passenger numbers due to the global economic downturn.
Airbus Spokeswoman Stephanie Henrion said “We maintain our delivery forecast of 483 aircraft, matching the record set in 2008.”
The decision now means that Airbus will have to wait for most of the $450 million that the airline was supposed to pay for the aircraft.Aeroflot have deferred the delivery of the aircraft to over the next 4 years, with two A320-200 jets expected to be delivered one and two years later than planned.
The Russian flagship carrier reported last week of a 12 percent drop in passenger numbers for the first quarter of this year as Russia struggles with its worst economic crisis in over a decade.
Airbus still expects to reach their target aircraft sales as aircraft makers generally find another airline that would like to advance its order.
