PARIS, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Airbus AIR.PA delivered around 72 aircraft in September, almost matching 73 a year earlier, industry sources said.

Airbus declined comment on the provisional delivery total ahead of a monthly industrial bulletin due on October 8.

If confirmed, the tally would be higher than the visible total of tracked deliveries estimated by analysts in the mid to high 60s. Jefferies analysts estimated 68 deliveries.

The pick-up in pace follows concerns about the effect of delays in the system including any impact from the latest industrial glitch involving parts for the A321neo, as well as existing shortages of engines and other parts.

Commercial CEO Lars Wagner said this week that he was "very confident" of meeting the full-year target of around 870 jets, which Airbus has informally defined as 850 to 890.
