Boeing ahead of Airbus in 2005 order race so far

I totally agree with your comment André.

But the years has just begun and the numbers might change again...

Anyway it's nice to see Boeing is still alive after the weak year of 2004.
As for Airbus, well I'm sure they'll be able to catch up most of the gap during the year

Airbus is now in green manily because of Iberia (+30)

Does anybody know how the A380 did on its evacuation test? I know the 747-300 can't fly domestic trips in the U.S. because it wasn't able to meet the evacuation time requirements when it was certified. The 747-400 does meet the requirements though. So it could fly Dallas-New York, etc. Also does anybody know just what airports the A380 will be able to fly into. I can't see any airports in the U.S. willing to build new runways just so the A380 can land on them. Maybe the European governments and Airbus will subsidize new runway construction in Europe for the A380.

Due to the article below (seen in other subjects).....

Singapore Aircraft Leasing Enterprise (SALE), the leasing company of Singapore Airlines, has placed an order for 20 Boeing 737-800s with deliveries scheduled between the fourth quarter of 2006 and the end of 2009.

The score is now!...

Airbus TOTAL = 44
Boeing TOTAL = 235

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says just four US airports - John F Kennedy in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Miami - are currently working on plans to accept the new plane for passengers, while Anchorage and Memphis are working with the FAA to take the cargo version, said the report. Outside the US, airports that are reportedly making necessary preparations for the superjumbo include London's Heathrow, Charles de Gaulle in Paris, Changi Airport in Singapore and Australia's Sydney Airport.

Apparently LAX is having problems with citizens groups, and may delay construction until 2010 or later.

Get your name on the list

With the topic about GOL I wrote earlier.... ( https://www.aviation24.be/postt9756.html ) the score for Boeing goes up again....

Airbus TOTAL = 44
Boeing TOTAL = 239

Airbus infact have more orders, I dont understand how you can subtract the UPS a300's when for one they were not even ordered this year and for second they dont subtract away from Aircraft ordered in 2005 they just were not delivered.

Too me the list above is highly unaccurrate

Mighty · Post by **Mighty** » 28 Mar 2005, 15:12

UP-DATE....

Airbus TOTAL = 64
Boeing TOTAL = 239

so airbus is climbing a little....

Meanwhile, Airbus expects to deliver 260 aircraft in 2005, vs 220 for Boeing. These are the only important figures, because they mean hard cash.

No André, deliveries don't mean cash. Profit is the only important word.
We have to wait for the Paris Airshow. If a A380 will make a pass over, even the Boeing guys will be speachless.

GB Airways orders 1 A320-200 and 4 A321-200.

Air Asia had previously 40 firm orders and 40 options. They converted 20 into firm order and added 20 more on option. Or if you prefer, they just added 20 firm order. So it isn't 60 but 20 new planes on order, probably at the same interesting prices as the 40 firmly ordered.

To sumarize:

we had:
40 on firm order
40 more on option

now we have:
40+20 on firm order
40 more on option

Hope this help
