PARIS, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Airbus delivered 585

airplanes in the first 10 months of the year, industry sources

said, leaving 235 left to deliver to reach a target of around

820 for the full year.

The cumulative deliveries include 78 jets handed over to

airlines in October, they added, echoing an earlier Bloomberg

report.

Airbus declined to comment ahead of the release of monthly

data on Friday.

CEO Guillaume Faury said last week that deliveries would

remain "very backloaded", with a dash to the finish line in the

last two months of the year as it waits for engine shipments.

Airbus has some 30 jets assembled and waiting for engines.
