Airbus' 2009 orders on course to exceed Boeing's
By David Kaminski-Morrow
Airbus appears virtually certain to exceed Boeing's declared year-end net order total of 142 aircraft when it discloses its 2009 figures next week.
The European airframer had recorded 194 net orders by the end of November last year, and has since confirmed firm agreements for dozens more aircraft.
