Airbus' First-Half Deliveries Plunge as COVID-19 Takes Its Toll

Airbus (OTC: EADSY) delivered 196 planes in the first half of 2020, half the total from a year prior, as the COVID-19 pandemic led to factory disruptions and quelled demand for new aircraft. Airbus also registered no new orders in June, its second consecutive month without an order. The deliveries number was Airbus' lowest first-half total in 16 years.
