PARIS, France (Reuters) -- European plane maker Airbus said on Wednesday that Irish state airline Aer Lingus had signed a final contract to buy seven of its single-aisle A320 planes, confirming plans that were unveiled in September.

Airbus said Aer Lingus would also lease an additional 10 new A320s from leading aircraft leasing company International Lease Finance Corp., a unit of insurance group AIG.

Airbus is 80-percent owned by aerospace company EADS and 20-percent owned by Britain's BAE Systems.
