Airbus is claiming it has wrested away the title of the world’s best-selling aircraft manufacturer in its ongoing battle with rival Boeing, but the European jet maker still has a way to go to catch up in actual plane deliveries.
Airbus Claims Title As World’s Top Selling Plane Maker
Key Takeaways:
- Airbus claims the title of the world's best-selling aircraft manufacturer for 2015, securing 1,036 orders, significantly more than Boeing's 768.
- This surge in orders, partly attributed to the new A320Neo, has boosted Airbus's total order backlog to almost a decade's worth of production, surpassing Boeing's order book.
- Despite winning the sales title, Airbus delivered fewer aircraft in 2015 (635) compared to Boeing, which delivered 762 jets.
