YTD 737 family deliveries (440) are slightly ahead of YTD A320 family deliveries (436). If confirmed after adding up December deliveries, this would be the first time in many years, and a true milestone for Boeing ... The year-end scramble will be interesting to watch !
I do expect Boeing to overtake Airbus in narrowbodies by ramping up production while Airbus is busy transitioning to the -neo.

Leeham's analysis only applies to widebodies. Narrowbody production raises different - and quite interesting - issues about respective ramp up paces, availability as a sales driver and the sustainability of very high production rates. Airbus' lineup seems to have a potential for more sales, but Boeing's production system may be more flexible ... |

I was more-less citing that article from Leehamnews.
Any way the increase of production of NB - there was a couple of announcements made by both parties, but what the reality will be ?
I would still expect it to be close.
Both have huge line of orders and the waiting time for NB planes is still increasing - the question is how long a time is still acceptable by the airlines/lessors ?

Airbus might still announce a further rate increase for single aisle production. Of course, though I think Airbus' priority is to execute a smooth transition to the -neo. I would expect a further rate increase to occur in 2017/18 at the earliest, conceding the narrowbody lead to Boeing in 2015/16. Any earlier rate increase would seem to be bold, if not reckless. Yet, who am I to pass such judgements without insight ... |

We might hear more about a production ramp-up next week in London (shareholders meeting) or in January (annual press conference). |

It is indeed a Boeing production record, as well as an industry record. Boeing deserves congratulations for ramping up 787 production according to plan, in spite of a few unexpected challenges. Airbus is not going to match such figures before 2017 or 2018, when A350 production will be in full swing.
