PARIS (Reuters) – Airbus <EADSY<\/a>> posted its biggest January order haul in at least 15 years on Thursday as it booked a major leasing order that has been in the pipeline for several months, and carried out 31 aircraft deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European planemaker said it had taken orders for 296 aircraft in January, including the recently finalised order for 102 planes from Air Lease Corp <AL<\/a>> as well as 100 jets from U.S. low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines <SAVE<\/a>>. After cancellations, it started the year with 274 net orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancellations included 20 single-aisle jets from Colombia’s Avianca, balanced by 20 orders for broadly similar aircraft from leasing company BOC Aviation in what some industry sources have described as a swap to ease their financing. Neither firm was available for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa <LHA.DE<\/a>> canceled two A350 wide-body jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rival Boeing, whose sales and deliveries have been affected by the grounding of its 737 MAX, has yet to post January data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus said on Thursday its deliveries from an overseas assembly plant in China had been halted amid the coronavirus outbreak. Airbus has joined other local companies in extending a routine shutdown planned for Chinese New Year, due to the impact of the health scare on its supply chains and logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus is expected to give targets next week and barring a worsening of the coronavirus crisis could shoot for record deliveries of at least 900 jets in 2020 as Boeing remains on a backfoot due to the MAX grounding, industry analysts say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
