Cape Town - Airbus's latest rolling orders and deliveries report for February shows the continuing popularity of its single-aisle A320 family – both in the CEO (current engine option) and NEO (new engine option) versions, the company said in a statement.

It was underscored by the 32 orders logged in February.

For the month’s deliveries, Airbus provided 46 jetliners to international customers from its A320, A330 and A380 product lines.
 
An unidentified customer booked 18 A320neo and five A320ceo aircraft in February, while nine A320neos were ordered by AirAsia.
 
Taking cancellations into account, Airbus’ 2015 net orders totalled 28 aircraft as of February 28.
 
The deliveries during February were composed of 37 jetliners from the A320ceo family, eight A330s and one A380. This included an A320 for Nepal Airlines in the airline’s move to an all Airbus jet fleet, along with the first new A330-200 directly purchased by Argentinian flagship carrier Aerolineas Argentinas as part of its fleet renewal strategy.
 
With the month’s order and delivery activity, Airbus’ backlog was 6 332 aircraft at the end of February.
