...& UPS order is for 10 A380.
LOUISVILLE, Jan. 10, 2005 - Moving to expand the capacity of its air network to accommodate strong international growth, UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced a firm order for 10 A380 super-jumbo freighter aircraft made by Airbus. http://www.ups.com/content/ca/en/about/news/01_10_2005.html

Leelaw,
Airbus order info is quite comprehensive, only issue is that it is monthly, whereas Boeing is weekly. They also state that they are orders confirmed by the manufacturers, but realistically I think that some are not signed in stone.
I like to review justplanes as their info is normally very up to date, and I too would like a good comparison, but this to me is still very poor as it is way wide of the mark.

The justplanes.com weekday airline news summary has markedly improved since the beginning of the year; consequently, I'm willing to cut them some slack to sort out this new comparative order summary feature which is helpful and was after all, just unveiled today. I'm sure the anal "order nerds" have already bombarded them with suggested corrections and improvements.

Leelaw,
I don't understand how you believe the summary is useful with it's present content. Once corrected it may be, but at present it is not. I am not one of those order nerds, just someone who deals in hard facts.

Col:
Revenge of the Anal Order Nerds.
Looks like they've already corrected the error on the UPS order Keesje cited, and added the Kingfisher order since this morning. Perhaps the other unconscionable omissions of fact you cited will be addressed soon as well.

With the deluge of orders that went towards Airbus at the end of last year, I think some people thought they were out. As it is it's great to see both sides fattening the order book. It's a fun industry to watch, to spot and to travel on.
It's entertaining to watch the two companies compete and to cheer them on.
No referee's either unless you count the WTO.
More entertaining than the NHL. I can't even imagine what the Canadians are doing for entertainment.

The page is now in my bookmarks.
Alas, while Boeing is out of the gates in early 2005, I do find it a bit distorted not having a summary of 2004 also available. While I like following this horse race, this is more of a super-marathon than a sprint. For this mile, Boeing is running faster, for the last few its been Airbus. The starting line is back before I was born... The finish line hopefully decades of interesting products away!

I have the feeling that Boeing is regaining its rank of number 1. They have now a modern offer (737NG, 787, 777) and Airbus should probably think quite fast of a A320 replacement, or a modernization of the A320. 145 orders in just 2 months is huge !
