AIRSHOW-Engine maker CFM hopes for 600 orders this year
PARIS, June 13 (Reuters) - Engine maker CFM International is targeting around 600 orders this year after taking 303 in the first five months of the year, its chief said on Saturday in Paris ahead of Le Bourget Airshow next week.
"If we have 600 at end of year, I will be happy," CFM International Chief Executive Eric Bachelet said. The company had fewer than five cancellations through May, he said.
Bachelet added that he was confident on deliveries through early 2010 but had less visibility thereafter.
CFM is a jet engine joint venture between General Electric (GE.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and Safran (SAF.PA: Quote, Profile, Research). (Reporting by Tim Hepher; Editing by James Regan)
