Airbus is the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer

Airbus delivered a record number of aircrafts last year to take the claim of being the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer.

Boeing is their primary rival in this industry.

The company is however expecting a slowdown this year due to worsening economic conditions.

Airbus CEO Tom Enders said in a statement that they are expecting orders to fall below deliveries this year.

He said: “It’s looking like a very soft year right now.”

They are aiming to match the deliveries made in 2008 for this year.

The company gained orders for 777 planes worth $100 billion at catalog prices. Boeing in comparison got orders for 662 planes.
