European Rival Sees Slower Order Pace Following Busy March
In April 2026, Boeing significantly outpaced Airbus in new commercial aircraft orders, securing 136 firm orders compared to Airbus’ 28. This follows a busy March for Airbus, which announced several key orders during the month. The European manufacturer’s slower April may be a temporary setback, while Boeing’s performance could indicate increased competitiveness in the market. The data was reported by Aviation Week.
