Boeing set to top Airbus in 2012 deliveries
Portland Business Journal Date: Friday, December 7, 2012, 6:57am PST

Boeing is set to take the delivery crown from Airbus for the first time since 2003.

Boeing Co. is poised to take the yearly delivery crown away from Airbus for the first time in a decade.

Bloomberg reports that through November, Boeing (NYSE: BA) has delivered 537 airplanes, which compares with Airbus’s 516 deliveries. Airbus has topped Boeing on deliveries every year since 2003.

Now for the rest of the stories

Boeing won't announce its final delivery and

order numbers for 2012 until sometime in early January.

But the Chicago-based aerospace company is expected to beat its
European rival Airbus in both sales and jet deliveries.

Boeing started selling the 737 MAX after Airbus had been selling the re-engined A320 for some time, so Boeing's order victory this year is just a matter of timing for the two very large sales volume aircraft.

But, orders obviously do not equal revenue and profit, or for that matter, deliveries. Just consider the fact that Airbus has taken in far more orders than Boeing has in the last decade or more but this year, Boeing delivered more airplanes. Doesn't quite add up, does it?! :) Airbus has succeeded brilliantly at hyping the rather meaningless order numbers to make themselves appear more successful than Boeing. But when it comes to revenue, profits, Market Cap etc, well, that's another story.

Bottom line, both companies are doing great.
