Airbus reports a better year in 2007 than 2006 with aircraft orders. 453 total which is 19 more than the previous year.

Airbus made a remarkable rebound with the Airbus A380 entering into the market. But even with that, there still remained a challenge, as says Tom Enders, President and CEO,

“2007 was a challenging but also successful year for Airbus, we were successful in the market and mastered the industrial challenges of the production ramp-up, the timely delivery of the first A380 and the implementation of the Airbus Power8 turnaround program. 2008 will be as challenging on all fronts. But I am sure that, with the dedication of our people and all involved, we shall master them.”

What can be expected in 2008 from Airbus. It is anticipated that Airbus will be filling close to 470 orders for 2008. Can the surpass the number of orders expected from Boeing? You be the judge. More to this story can be found here.
