Airbus said it saw a more than 10 percent rise in deliveries in 2023, meaning the aircraft maker maintained the top manufacturing spot against rival Boeing for a consecutive fifth year.
The European aerospace firm said in a Jan. 11 press release that it delivered 735 commercial aircraft to 87 customers around the world in 2023, marking an 11 percent increase from 2022, and leaving its order backlog at 8,598 planes, despite what it called a “complex operating environment.”
