Airbus (AIR.PA) kept its crown as the world's largest jetmaker for the third year running as it outstripped Boeing (BA.N) by delivering 611 jets in 2021, up 8% from the year before, company data showed on Monday, APA reports citing Reuters.
The numbers gave Airbus an unassailable lead on revenue-generating deliveries - the industry's main yardstick - after Boeing handed over 302 jets in the first 11 months.
After slashing production due mainly to the pandemic, planemakers are seeing more demand for medium-haul passenger jets and freighters, despite global concern over Omicron.
