Boeing aheads Airbus in terms of fresh orders

Aeroplane maker Airbus He admitted that he most likely lost this year's race for fresh orders with his American rival, Boeing. For the first time in six years Boeing is expected to receive more orders, said in a conversation with the France Inter radio president Airbus Guillaume Faury (57) As a reason, he described American trade policy. Boeing recorded 908 net orders from January to November, while Airbus has so far collected only 700 of them.

According to Faury, the president of the United States Donald Trump (79) he helped Boeing due to the fact that aircraft procurement was part of the agreement reached in the customs negotiations. Trump, in turn, took credit for his success. "I think I sold 1,000 Boeing aircraft," he said.

At the September conference, the CEO of Boeing Kelly Ortberg (65) stated that the government was "very helpful" in supporting sales campaigns and that the company benefited from Trump's decisive efforts to increase American exports.

Faury, however, stressed that Airbus remains the leader in terms of supplies and the overall order book. Therefore, the company is expected to stay the largest aircraft maker in the world. "The fact that we have been at the forefront of orders for 5 years means that our order portfolio is much higher than our main competitor," said Faury of the French radio station.
