Airbus stays ahead of Boeing.
The American manufacturer said in a press release that it delivered 480 aircraft in total last year, and received 808 net orders.
This is not enough to supplant Airbus, even if the number of deliveries has increased by 40% compared to 2022.
Boeing said on Tuesday it had delivered 480 planes in total in 2022 thanks to an acceleration in the fourth quarter, which was not enough to supplant Airbus, however, and had received 808 net orders.
The number of deliveries represents a 40% increase compared to the previous year, but also the best performance since 2018, before the American group had to manage the crisis of the 737 MAX after two fatal accidents and the massive slowdown in air traffic with the pandemic.
