PARIS, July 29 (Reuters) - Airbus maintained financial and industrial forecasts as it unveiled stronger-than-expected second-quarter revenues and core profits on Wednesday, lifted by higher jetliner deliveries and gains in defence.
The world's largest planemaker said its quarterly adjusted operating profit rose 54% to 2.43 billion euros as revenues gained 28% to 20.53 billion euros, led by a surge in commercial aircraft deliveries following a slow start to the year.
