Telegraph: Airbus is largest aircraft manufacturer
Not really a surprise, but relevant news:
Airbus has trounced Boeing to become the world’s biggest aircraft maker as the US aerospace giant continues to grapple with the fallout from the grounding of its 737 Max jet.The European company delivered 863 planes in 2019, against just 345 deliveries by its American rival.
Shares in Airbus rose almost 4pc after the figures were released. They were ahead of the 860 shipments the firm had forecast in October when it
trimmed projections because of production problems.It is the first time since 2011 that Airbus has overtaken its US competitor.
