Aer Lingus orders A350XWB and A330 from Airbus

European planemaker Airbus said on Friday that Irish airline Aer Lingus had confirmed an earlier order for more Airbus A350-900 and A330-300 planes.

Airbus said the Irish airline has received shareholder approval to purchase six A350-900s, along with six additional A330-300s, confirming an earlier placed contract.

This latest contract brings total firm orders for the A350 XWB to 362, with orders placed by 22 customers, Airbus added.

Aer Lingus Bid To Stop Ryanair 'Interference' Rejected

A European court has rejected an attempt by Irish carrier Aer Lingus to stop what it calls "interference" by rival Ryanair, Aer Lingus said on Tuesday.

Former state carrier Aer Lingus turned to the court after the European Commission said in October it could not force Ryanair to cut its stake in Aer Lingus, which Ryanair in August said stood at over 29 percent.
