European Airbus (Airbus) has become the world's largest aircraft manufacturer for the first time since 2011 after 2019 has put its clients 863 aircraft, taking over the "palm" of the U.S. – airlines Boeing (Boeing).
the demise of Boeing was expected given the numerous scandals quality and the two air crashes of the 737 MAX model.
Airbus planned to sell in 2019 860 aircraft, but at the end of the year received an additional application and was able to build three more aircraft. Deliveries grew by 7.9% over 800 aircraft in 2018.
Airbus has not commented on the preliminary figures, which must be audited before they can be finalized and formally published.
the Company has successfully overcome the crisis of supply of components for aircraft A321neo collected in Hamburg, but suffered additional costs. According to analysts, it can have a moderate impact on the profit of Airbus, but this effect will be greatly reduced due to the large number of aircraft and the already significant profitability for such aircraft.
However, the problems with equipment have reduced the ability of Airbus to take advantage of market shocks associated with the 737 MAX Boeing.
In the period from January through November, Boeing delivered 345 mostly long-haul aircraft, which is less than half from the same period of 2018. For the entire 2018 Boeing put aircraft 806.
Plants Airbus traditionally stay for Christmas and New year. However, the company managed to work well at the end of 2019 and surpassed all of its competitors.
In October 2019, the world trade organization (WTO) pozvolila United States of America every year to impose punitive duties on $ 7.5 billion of goods from the EU accusing the EU of subsidies to the aircraft manufacturing company Airbus, which was recognized illegal. In the United States has repeatedly declared billions of dollars of losses due to these subsidies is experiencing the Boeing company.
the New European Union Commissioner on trade, Irish Phil Hogan, said on Monday that he would seek the restart of trade relations between the EU and the United States on several controversial issues when he first will meet with his us counterpart next month.
