(Reuters) -Airbus delivered 71 jets in March, the planemaker confirmed on Wednesday, bringing first-quarter deliveries to 136, down from 142 a year earlier.
The world’s largest planemaker also booked 280 orders for a net total of 204 after adjusting for cancellations.
The delivery total for March confirms a figure previously reported by Reuters.
Airbus has warned that first-quarter deliveries would be constrained mainly by a shortage of engines from biggest supplier CFM, jointly owned by GE Aerospace and Safran, which brought forward some supplies to the previous quarter to help Airbus to meet 2024 targets.
The European planemaker is targeting 820 deliveries for the whole year.
Analysts say the rhythm of plane deliveries, which account for most of the company's revenue, will be under scrutiny in the coming months as aerospace and other industries gear up for possible new trade tariffs that could affect parts and raw materials.
