PRAGUE, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Europe's Airbus broke a major trade barrier on Tuesday when its A320 jet surpassed Boeing's 737 to become the world's most-delivered jetliner.

Boeing's decades-old record was broken with the overnight delivery of an A320 to Saudi carrier Flynas, bringing the total number of A320s delivered since entering service in 1988 to 12,260, according to data from UK-based consultancy Cirium.

Airbus has not yet responded to a request for comment on the data.
