Airbus, Boeing: 2010 By the Numbers

Airbus has today followed Boeing in releasing its final order and delivery figures for 2010.

Here are the highlights:

                                    Airbus               Boeing

Deliveries                      510                      462

Net Orders                    5 74                     530

Gross Orders                644                      625

The Airbus orders reflect a much higher figure in terms of widebodies than Boeing, giving the European aircraft maker an edge in terms of the list-price value of the firm commitments booked, as well as a larger order number intake.

Airbus boss Tom Enders says his company will deliver more aircraft than Boeing again in 2011.
