2009 jet order tally so far: Airbus 194, Boeing 91

Airbus’ commercial airplanes backlog got a boost in November when an unnamed customer ordered 52 of its single-aisle A320 jets. The request lifts Airbus’ net order tally to 194 through the first 11 months of 2009, the company said Thursday. The European jet maker leads rival Boeing in net orders this year. Boeing, which updates its orders Web site weekly, lists 93 net orders through Dec. 1.

Boeing won an order for two 737s in the last week from an unidentified customer, bringing its net orders up from 91. The Chicago-based jet maker has been plagued by order cancellations this year, particularly for its delayed 787 Dreamliner. Boeing has received 204 gross orders through Dec. 1 but has logged in 111 cancellations — 83 for its 787.
