Airbus deliveries up 4% in challenging 2017
Airbus delivered a record 718 aircraft in 2017 and secured 1,109 total net orders, during a challenging year when up to 60 new-build aircraft were left on the tarmac because of engine delays. The 718 deliveries included 558 A320 family aircraft (including 181 A320neos), 67 A330s, 78 A350s and 15 A380s, marking Airbus’ 15th consecutive year of production growth. At year-end, the manufacturer’s backlog stood at 7,265 aircraft, valued at US$1.059t at list prices, with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.5. In 2018, the airframer is aiming to hit 800 deliveries. Boeing delivered 763 aircraft in 2017, exceeding the 718 delivered by Airbus, but Boeing secured fewer net orders at 912 aircraft versus Airbus’ total of 1,109. <br/>
