Airbus deliveries surge, sending shares higher

A rebound in air travel in the U.S. and China is helping to give Airbus a lift. The aerospace giant said Friday (April 9) that deliveries of new jets surged in March. It also reported a new order for 20 of its smaller A220 planes. Airbus shares rose around 2% following the news.
