2007 will be a big year for the 787, with first flight and a renewed challenge from the A350XWB on the cards. (Boeing)
The sales race
And the winner is …Boeing!! The crown in the “2006 Airliner Orders Stakes” run over a full year on a sometimes fluid track is well and truly with Boeing.
The quality of the customers, across the entire product line is an investor’s dream. Qantas and Singapore Airlines firm on the 787, Lufthansa launching the 747-8 Intercontinental, FedEx cancelling its A380s and ordering 777-200Fs, Air Berlin’s return to the 737 fold with orders for 75 and Korean Airline’s big buy of 777s and 747-8Fs, were all highlights of a spectacular year.
