PARIS, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Airbus delivered 61

jets in August, bringing deliveries by the world's largest

planemaker so far this year to 434 aircraft, industry sources

said on Wednesday.

The figure, fine-tuning preliminary estimates of around 60

reported by Reuters on Monday, marks a 30% increase from August

last year but requires Airbus to reach a record pace in coming

months as it aims to meet a full-year target of around 820 jets.

Airbus could not immediately be reached for comment.
