Airbus SE said the governments of France and Spain agreed to fast-track some deliveries of the slow-selling A400M military transport aircraft as the main nations supporting the program seek to keep production going.

France will take four aircraft sooner, while Spain will take three, Airbus said in a statement on Tuesday. Early deliveries will maintain the pace of production for the A400M, which has struggled to achieve its commercial and technical targets for years.
