It is unlikely that Airbus will repeat the record increase of more than 100 deliveries in December last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airbus&#8217; total deliveries are expected to fall by 35 percent this year because of the impact of the pandemic on airlines, but the European manufacturer has an unbeatable advantage over Boeing, which delivered 118 aircraft through the end of November. Airbus delivered 477 aircraft in the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Tim Hepher; Ed. by Mark Potter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
