Widebody aircraft are essential in the global commercial fleet, with Boeing and Airbus leading the market. The Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 are prominent models connecting long-haul routes worldwide. Currently, Boeing produces the 777 and 787 Dreamliner, while Airbus manufactures the A330 and A350.
In terms of orders for 2025, Boeing's Dreamliner range has received around 2,200 orders since its launch, whereas the A350 has over 1,400 commitments. This year alone, Boeing outperformed Airbus with double the sales figures. Notably, Qatar Airways placed a significant order for 130 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and an additional 30 for the upcoming 777X model.
Airbus secured substantial orders as well; however, their numbers were overshadowed by Boeing's achievements. The A330neo saw a total of 71 firm commitments this year from various airlines like IAG and Malaysia Airlines. Meanwhile, the A350 had better success with a total of 94 firm orders.
