PARIS (Reuters) - Airbus posted higher airplane orders for 2019 but failed to keep pace with deliveries for the second year in a row after axing its A380 superjumbo programme and clearing its books of some defunct deals left over from a faltering industry order boom.The European firm posted 1,131 gross orders, up 36% for the strongest rise in six years. That followed an order for 40 of its A330neo wide-body jets to an unnamed customer in the closing days of 2019. Net orders after cancellations..
