For Airbus, the year was 2014, a good one. Almost 1500 aircraft has Europe’s largest aircraft manufacturer sold last year – and thus depends on its US rival Boeing. Which Jets most revenue brought.
The world’s top aircraft maker Airbus has suspended its US rival Boeing last year for new orders. Airbus sold 1,456 aircraft and thus 24 more than its US competitor, as is apparent from the annual figures published in Toulouse on Tuesday.

So, new orders for Airbus amounted price list to 175 billion dollars (148 billion euros). Boeing came to $ 233 billion due to the higher proportion of jumbo jets. In addition, Boeing delivered 723 aircraft almost 100 machines more than the Europeans. Nevertheless, Airbus, 629 aircraft on a new production record.
Because of the high number of new orders, the order books of both providers swelled last sharply. Airbus came at the end of 2014, to a backlog of 6386 aircraft, Boeing had orders for 5789 machines in the books. For coveted models, the production is sold out for years to come.

The grown to 114 jets “Dreamliner” production had driven all Boeing deliveries last year upwards. Boeing presented its figures a week ago.
Little orders for Airbus flagship A380
From the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the A380 went last year 30 to the customer. However, the paragraph does not run as desired. Last year, Airbus had not only found new airline as a customer for the Riesenjet. The top management brought himself to the discussion of one end of the flagship jets, but it will Aircraft CEO Brégier know nothing. The A380 is expected to reach the break-even until now planned in 2015 for the first time.
