Originally Published 1 year ago — by The New York Times
Airbus plans to deliver 800 planes this year, including its A320neo, strengthening its position as the largest plane maker and pulling further ahead of Boeing, which is still dealing with the fallout from the 737 Max safety crisis. Airbus also reported a record 2,094 commercial aircraft orders and a backlog of 8,598 planes at the end of 2023. The company has started work on a more fuel-efficient successor to the A320neo, aiming to launch it in the mid-to-late 2030s, putting Airbus ahead of Boeing in cutting-edge technology aircraft.
