It is marked that Boeing delivered during the past year 806 civil airplanes that allowed Company to hold global leadership that was taken 7 years ago. Airbus is just 6 airplanes down its’ main competitor having delivered to airline companies 800 airplanes.


At the same time both manufacturers couldn’t fulfill their delivery plans.

But Airbus just reached the lower bound of their forecast that was even reduced in October because of problems with suppliers and internal operational costs.
