I can't say, how much Boeing and Airbus aircraft are currently in use in Europe. So I put some numbers together, which show the orders placed in North America and Europe for Boeing and Airbus. The orders do not include orders placed by leasing companies, and order cancellations.
Orders in 2000
In Europe: 75 for Airbus, 72 for Boeing
In North America: 138 for Airbus, 244 for Boeing
Orders in 1999
In Europe: 67 for Airbus, 36 for Boeing
In North America: 104 for Airbus, 64 for Boeing
Orders in 1998
In Europe: 254 for Airbus, 133 for Boeing
In North America: 98 for Airbus, 303 for Boeing
Total 1998-2000 (without leasing companies, without cancellations)
In Europe: 396 orders for Airbus, 241 orders for Boeing
In North America: 340 orders for Airbus, 611 orders for Boeing
Anybody can make his own interpretation.
Regards
Gerardo

In Europe:
SR, SN, LH, AF, TAP, Austrian, BMI, Cyprus, and IB are mainly-Airbus carriers.
BA and KLM are mainly Boeing.
In the U.S.:
AA, DL, CO, SWA and UA have placed large orders with Boeing.
UA, NWA, US, jetBlue and AWA have placed significant orders with Airbus.

Most of the british charters use an even mix of Boeing and Airbuses.
I'd say it was about evens in the uk, maybe here in BRS the majority is De Havilland (shaddap GKirk)
heh
BA is not mainly Boeing, they are selling their 757's and classic 737's in return for A319's/A320. So they will have Airbuses=Shorthaul and Boeings=Longhaul. Which is probably what my airline would be (i prefer shorthaul airbuses, and i prefer longhaul Boeings)

I think in the current days the european airlines have the same porcent of Boeing and Airbus (50% & 50%), but in the future I think the airbuses fleets will win.

AF is dumping their 767's, 747-200's and -300's and 737's and getting A330's and A380's. In the future the only Boeing aircraft that will be in their fleet will be 747-400's, 777-200's and 777-300ER's. IB eventually will only have 757-200's which they have orders of now - they will retire their MD-80's and 727's in favor of A320's and their 747's for A340's on long-haul. BA is retiring their oldest 757's that have RB211-535C engines and their 737's will begin to leave soon, but they will stick with Boeing for long-haul. LH is also retiring their 737's and their 742's will be gone by next year, leaving 744's as their only Boeing aircraft in the future. SN and EI are also retiring their 737 fleets in favor of A320's and SR and Austrian will be retiring their MD aircraft soon as they receive Airbus replacements. TAP is already all-Airbus. Alitialia, however will continue to operate 763's and will be receiving 777's soon and SAS is currently receiving 737NG's but their long-haul will be with Airbus.

In europe, airlines face big pressure to order Airbus planes. That's not to say Airbus
doesn't have its own merits, but the company right now is heavily subsidized and
people are demanding that it become self-sufficient. To speed up this process of
becoming fully autonomous, some peer pressure is used among the countries.
As for those who paint the bleak picture of the whole world moving to just Airbus,
they are idiots. Both planes have their merits which is reflected in the fact that both
companies are getting nearly equal orders. I think in the end, once Airbus becomes
fully self-sufficient, it'll be a roughly eqaual split. It's entirely possible, after all, in the
past there were at least 3 major airplane manufacturers in the US alone and they got
along for quite a while.

It's the time to stop such a blah-blah like "Subsidized". If those flag carriers choose aircraft type mainly by 'administrative necessity', there won't be anything like AF 777. Don't forget Airbus is also funded by UK, and SR/OS all-Airbus is nothing to do with either of 'Political pressure' or 'European pride'.
In fact, East Asian airliners face more pressure than European ones, that to purchase Boeing. That's why KE ordered 22+ 737NGs when it can buy 320s or just use F100s and MD80s during economical crisis and huge loss. And as you know, KE operates large fleet of 330s. That tells everyone that political pressure doesn't effect so much.

There's no pressure on European airlines to buy Airbus!
Why would BA and AF build huge 777 fleets then?
Why does the A380 hasn't been ordered by BA?
Now interesting question, why does AA/DL/CO are commited to Boeing and will not order a single Airbus in the following decade, why does not a single A340 has ever been sold in USA? Definately not because the 777 is a better plane but maybe because there's simply a kind of pressure to buy american. Don't you think so?
Anyway, back to the topic, I think that Airbus is slowly getting bigger in European fleets, but there's a lot of factors shuch as high value of the US $ or Airbus cockpit fleet comonalty that you need to take into account before saying that there's political pressures.
One thing you can be sure is that they will never be number 1 in USA!

Can we stop this discussion or stick to the real topic of this thread before it will become yet another Airbus-Boeing thread with over 150 replies with people who either favour Boeing or Aibus? Is it difficult to have a Boeing - Airbus thread without accusing either the Europeans or the American of subsidizing either Boeing or Airbus?

I just looked into the 2001-2002 JP for the answer.
The answer on the question who is bigger Airbus or Boeing by country (I don't mention exact nuymberts because I didn''t have the time to add all the numbers):
The Netherlands:
Only Airbus flying is the PH-JLH (the farnair A300's have been returned as as far as I know don't fly anymore).
Denmark
Due to Maersk, Star Air and Sterling more Boeings than Airbusses (36 to 14)
Luxembourg
Boeing wins 16-0 (not a single airbus registered in this small country)
Belgium
Difficult to point a winner. However, upon a quick calculation of the OO registred planes I come to 65 Airbusses and 60 Boeings. Thus Airbus wins (allthough next year Boeing will probably win as Sabena will shrink).
Ireland
Thanks to Ryanair Boeing wins with 55-24 (and Boeing will remain number 1 if Ryanair keeps expanding)
Switzerland
Thanks to Swissair (58 Airbusses) and Edelweiss (4 Airbusses), is Switzerland an Airbus country. only easyJet Switzerland (3) and Prvatair (5) seem to lprefer Boeing.
Germany
Seems very close (must have some time to know who's number 1).
Portugal
A 41-4 victory for Airbus
Spain
Without ant doubt Airbus is the winner (don't have the exact numbers yet)
The UK
Allthough Airbus does good business in the UK, the combined Airbusses from BMI, BA, Monarch, JMC, Air 2000, Airtours, British Med, Channel express and the biz A319 (based at LTN), they can't match Boeing who wins due to BA (including the franchises), easyJet, GO, Britannia, JMC, Monarch, European Aircharter and Excel
France
Sorry Boeing but I don't count Mc Donnel Douglas aircraft as Boeing aircraft (allthough that doesn't help). Thus Airbus is the winner.
Italy
Yet again I don't consider MD-80's Boeing aircraft but they don't need them to win as it's 53-45 for Boeing
Greece
A clear win (41-7) for Boeing.
France
A clear win for Airbus thanks to AF
Austria
Airbus wins 21-17
Norway
Because Braathens prefers Boeings, Boeing leads with 35-0 in Norway (I count SAS under Sweden)
Sweden
Again no MD-80's or DC-9's in the Boeing count. Boeing wins with 85-5
I'll try to figure out the exact numbers for France, the UK, Germany and European countries I haven't mention yet (sorry but I also want to enjoy the fine weather we now have in The Netherlands) to get a good answer on Kiss my L1011s question (OO-AOG does this answer yor question).
Regards
Laurens
BTW I've tried to calculate the exact numbers but maybe one or two planes wrong.

I must first correct something. Unlike what I thought Boeing wins in Spain with 109-92. Thus in Spain ther're more Boeings than Airbuses.
The number for the UK is 415 Boeings compared to 149 Airbuses. For France the number is 167 Airbusses compared to 164 Boeings .
Boeing has 269 planes flying in Germany compared to Ai 197 Airbusses.
In the netherlands we've 125 Boeings and 1 Airbus.
Conclusion
1437 Boeings (without the MD's and DC's) and 852 Aibuses flying in Europe, thus boeing is bigger in Europe! I may have made a mistake. If so come with the exact numbers. Those who question that this is true should pick their JP 2001-2002 and count the number of Boeings and Airbuses in Europe themselves.However, don't come with planes that have yet to be delivered!.
Regards
Laurens
BTW am I the only one on this forum with a JP?????????
25 LJ: I must apologise if I've missed your country. I haven't with a specificx purpose only because if you've counted the largeset countries you already hav
26 Critter592: Now this is a question worthwhile... This question is which is bigger IN EUROPE? Boeing or Airbus? Not, Which is Better... Good Going, but you need to
