AIRSHOW-Airbus says plans to lift A320 production still warranted
FARNBOROUGH, England, July 12 (Reuters) - Airbus's plans to raise production of its top-selling A320 family of single-aisle jets are "still warranted", the European planemaker's sales chief said on Tuesday, amid aviation industry concerns about a faltering global economy.
Airbus plans to eventually lift production of A320 jets to 60 a month, from around 42 currently.
When asked whether Airbus would announce further orders for its A321neo model on the second day of the Farnborough Airshow in southern England, John Leahy replied: "Hope so."
He also said he was disappointed at the time it was taking to get U.S. licences for Airbus's planned sale of jets to Iran.
