The second A380 for Air France was delivered to this global airline group in February, while the other widebody aircraft provided during the month were an A330-200 to AERCAP (for Sichuan Airlines) and to CIT (for Qantas Airways), along with one A330-300 to AWAS (for Singapore Airlines) and another for Finnair.

Airbus’ order book remained unchanged from January.  The month of February included an announcement of Hong Kong Airlines’ Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for six more A330-200 aircraft – which will increase the number of A330s ordered by this carrier to 23.
