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

The plane manufacturer delivered 47 aircraft in February, but didn't register any net orders for the month as Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. (0293.HK) took over an order previously made by Kuwaiti aircraft-leasing company Aviation Lease & Finance Co. (ALAFCO.KW) for six A350-900 jets.

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

The Franco-German aero-defense giant Thursday said net profit for the three months ended 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.
