Airbus beats Boeing for orders


Plane giant Airbus booked more orders than rival Boeing in the first half of this year, according to figures released today after the US firm saw almost all its orders cancelled. From January to June Airbus received 90 orders of which 22 were cancelled, according to the latest figures released today by the company, a subsidiary of the aeronautic and defence group EADS. According to Boeing's figures, it saw all but one of its 85 orders fall through in that period. Most of them were orders for its new 787 Dreamliner model.
