Airbus surpassed Boeing's 441 deliveries during the year, but Boeing led in orders with 1,413. At a Toulouse, France, press conference, Airbus executives spoke understandingly of Boeing's plight, not surprisingly given the delays Airbus has encountered in its A350 and A380 programs. The 787 delay "shows how complex aircraft manufacturing is and why there are only two producers of large commercial aircraft over 100 seats in the world," Airbus sales chief John Leahy told reporters, according to Reuters ." Boeing will get through it. I don't see any advantage for Airbus."
