With 340 deliveries, Boeing lagged far behind the European competitor, which handed over 611 aircraft to customers. Boeing suffered from production problems with the 787, which has halted delivery of the Dreamliner for almost the entire year, and is also still recovering from the 737 MAX debacle. Airbus produced a lot more aircraft from the A320neo family every month.
In terms of new orders, it was a good year for the Americans. With 909 aircraft, a lot more aircraft were sold than with Airbus (771). Especially in terms of widebody freighters, Boeing did better, despite Airbus introducing the new A350 Freighter this year. Both manufacturers sold a lot more devices than a year earlier.
The ancient 767 was the bestseller among Boeing widebody vehicles, with 65 units sold. It was also number 1 in terms of deliveries (32). This aircraft is very popular with freight companies. Boeing can offer the 767 economically because the development costs have long since been recouped. In the freight market, capital costs are generally somewhat more important than fuel consumption.
If you look at the net number of orders, i.e. the number of new orders minus the number of cancellations, the differences between Boeing and Airbus are a lot smaller: 535 versus 507. And Boeing’s figure still includes 56 aircraft that were previously used for accounting purposes. reason were deleted (because they were too uncertain), but could now be added again.
