Comment

As a reminder, Airbus delivered 611 commercial aircraft during the year 2021, almost double the Boeing figure of 340.

It is noteworthy to observe that the old 767 was delivered in larger numbers than the more modern 777 and 787, plagued by production problems. On the other hand, the deliveries of the 737 MAX have resumed at an almost normal pace.
