Boeing Leads Airbus In The Race For New Commercial Airplane Orders In 2014

Through July this year, Boeing has mopped up orders for 833 commercial airplanes, compared to 705 orders received by Airbus. The launch of wide-body 777X by Boeing late last year has given a boost to its order tally this year. On the other hand, Airbus has had to suffer from a large order cancellation for its A350 from Emirates.
