PARIS, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Airbus needs to

deliver planes at a record pace to reach its annual target after

delivering about 60 aircraft in August, industry sources and

analysts said on Monday.

The world's largest planemaker is aiming for a 7% increase

in deliveries to 820 jets this year but has been hit by delays

in receiving engines and cabin equipment. Deliveries determine

revenue and cash generation and affect airline growth plans.

Airbus declined to comment ahead of the publication of

monthly data on Friday.
