PARIS, Sept ‌28 (Reuters) - ​Airbus ​is bracing for slower than ‌expected deliveries in September ⁠after the recent discovery ‌of a glitch ‌affecting its best-selling A321neo jets, two industry ​sources said.

A cumulative total of 20 ⁠A321neo jets has been pushed into ​the fourth quarter partly as a result ​of the ‌quality problem, one of the sources ⁠said, though safety is not affected and ⁠several airlines are continuing to ​accept the aircraft.

Airbus declined comment on incomplete monthly totals ‌but said last Friday that there ‌was no ⁠change to ‌its full-year ​targets.
