Module Description
Airbus v Boeing Orders is an gross order backlog analysis module. It helps users track gross order volumes, market momentum, and customer demand across a six-year window for the two largest commercial aircraft manufacturers.
This module enables users to benchmark aircraft and engine selections, gauge long-term maintenance and supply chain requirements, and distinguish between direct airline fleet expansion (operators) and indirect leasing market supply (lessors).
Airbus v Boeing Orders lets users compare gross order volumes and market momentum for each manufacturer, as well as commercial intent by customer class, aircraft class, aircraft family, selected engine manufacturer, engine type ordered, and region.
Airbus v Boeing Orders complements the Airbus v Boeing Deliveries and Airbus v Boeing Transaction Matrix modules.
Use Cases:
-
Capital planning: long-range infrastructure planning
-
Aftermarket suppliers: production strategy
-
Aircraft Maintenance and Overhaul organisations long-range commercial strategy planning.
-
Supply chain management: forecasting
-
Aviation news agencies that require information on aircraft deliveries and transactions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I compare the latest gross orders for Airbus and Boeing?
Yes. Airbus v Boeing Orders helps you compare the latest gross orders for Airbus and Boeing across the six-year backlog window, showing up to the most recently completed quarter.
Can I break down Airbus v Boeing orders by selected engine type?
Yes, although this information is not always disclosed.
Can I see the regional distribution of Airbus v Boeing orders?
Yes. You can view the regional distribution for both manufacturers together or separately for each manufacturer.
Can I compare Airbus v Boeing gross orders by aircraft type?
Yes. You can compare two specific aircraft types, such as A320neo and B737 MAX, provided each type belongs to one of the two manufacturers.
Comparison Criteria
The core utility of this module lies in allowing users to filter gross order volumes across the six-year period through strategic parameters:
-
Manufacturer and customer type: Contrast order velocity between Airbus and Boeing, segmented by customer class.
-
Asset and propulsion: Filter by aircraft class, aircraft family, and engine family to identify the platforms dominating the period and correlate aircraft orders with physical powerplant demand.
-
Geographic demand: Segment the global backlog by region, country, and specific customer name to visualise where the next generation of aircraft will be deployed.
Market Visualisations
The Orders module presents manufacturer data through the following visualisations:
-
Order volumes: Track global gross orders using a longitudinal area chart for a direct, zero-baseline comparison of manufacturer performance across the six-year window.
-
Asset and propulsion segmentation: View fleet ratios and ordered engine models using synchronised 100% stacked column charts for aircraft class, aircraft family, selected engine manufacturer, and engine type ordered.
-
Regional and customer distribution: Map the allocation of future assets using synchronised region and customer class stacked charts to identify localised backlog growth.
