How does this compare to Airbus?

Airbus reported their orders and deliveries for yesterday.

On the deliveries front, it delivered 30 aircraft to 20 different customers around the world.

On the orders front, it received orders for 36 aircraft.

This 36 broke down into the 22 aircraft order from Azorra Aviation for two A220-100 and 20 A220-300 aircraft.

The other two were from undisclosed customers ordering a combined eight A321neo and six A320neo.

So, for both orders and deliveries, Boeing has come out on top in this respect, especially with orders as it charged ahead with the Qatar Airways order earlier this month as well.

In all, this is a much better start to a year that Boeing has and it is expected that this momentum will continue throughout the year.
