But it puts pressure on Airbus to maintain deliveries and find homes for some 170 aircraft that are already waiting for airlines to receive them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a letter to staff last week, Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury warned that the crisis was deepening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drop in demand, combined with billions of dollars in cash tied up in undelivered aircraft, has led to a debate about whether to reduce aircraft production rates per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<amp-auto-ads type=\"adsense\"\n        data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6613542170464175\">\n<\/amp-auto-ads>\n\n\n\n<h2
