Airbus delivered 84 aircraft and booked 91 net orders in the first two months of 2012.

The plane manufacturer delivered 47 aircraft in February and booked an order of six A350-900 jets from Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. (0293.HK). Airlines canceled six orders in the month.

Airbus is a unit of European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co. NV (EAD.FR).

The Franco-German aero-defense giant Thursday said net profit in the three months to Dec. 31 rose to EUR612 million from EUR355 million a year earlier, surpassing analysts' expectations, mainly due to a foreign exchange gain. It said its order book is currently worth more than EUR500 billion.
