    AIRBUS Group has postponed the first delivery of its A320neo model airliner by at least several weeks as it addresses issues with documentation for the aircraft, adding to the woes for the single-isle plane that constitutes the majority of the company's production.

    The delayed delivery to German carrier Lufthansa comes just about a week after Indian airline IndiGo disclosed that it had been told its first jet would be late and three weeks after Qatar Airways, originally set to be the first customer, put back deliveries, citing engine issues. Airbus had planned to deliver the plane to Lufthansa this week.
