PARIS, Oct 13 (Reuters) - The chief executive of Safran

said on Monday the French engine maker is "on a good

path" towards catching up on engine delays to Airbus by

the end of this month.

Asked after a Moroccan plant ceremony whether CFM, jointly

owned by Safran and GE Aerospace, would send through

enough engines to allow Airbus to meet its 2025 jet delivery

targets, Olivier Andries said: "Airbus has announced they had a

very good quarter of deliveries for Q3 and we also had a very

good performance in engine deliveries to Airbus in the quarter."

"Airbus also said the number of planes without engines has

fallen: this naturally reinforces our confidence. I have always

said that we wanted to catch up on the delays by the end of

October and I think we are on a good path," he said.
