European jetmaker Airbus Group said Wednesday record demand for its civilian jetliners from airlines around the world drove higher sales and profits last year, according to AP. The Boeing Co. rival, known until this year as EADS, said net profit rose 22 percent to 1.47 billion euros ($2 billion) in 2013, up from 1.2 billion euros the previous year. The company forecast jet deliveries to remain at about the same level this year as last year when it sold 626 aircraft. "We're not planning new adventures in 2014, the focus is on execution, execution, execution," Chief Executive Tom Enders said at a press conference.
