2002 orders: Boeing and Airbus
February 2003
Airbus’s net order intake stood at 233 aircraft, representing 57% of the market in terms of aircraft units. Stressing prudence and reactivity as key, Chief Executive Noel Forgeard said that 2003 “promises to be an important turning point in Airbus’ development”.
Boeing’s bad year was compounded by a 28% decline in commercial airplane deliveries and a fall of 19% in revenues.
Both manufacturer’s results were boosted enormously by LCC orders. Ryanair’s 103 737 orders contributed 50% of Boeing’s firm orders, and easyJet’s A319 order 51% of Airbus’s.
