Boeing's final 2014 numbers are out. Ghorn provided some of them in the "best selling widebody" thread, but a global view is necessary. active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfmNew orders (since the previous update) : 12797 737s [(unidentified customer(s)] 16 787s [14 unidentified customer(s) and 2 Air New Zealand] 14 777s [10 Kuwait Airways and 4 Qatar Airways] Cancellations : 12 737s 2014 net orders : 1432Boeing now has collected 575 737 orders from unidentified customers. 'Unidentified' seems to be an umbrella for 'China Govt not yet assigned to an airline'. Geoff |

'Unidentified' seems to be an umbrella for 'China Govt not yet assigned to an airline'. Geoff It does not work that way : no Chinese airline gets assigned any aircraft by the government. Airlines actually negociate draft contracts that are firmed when the government rubber-stamps them. I don't think orders can be booked as firm before government approval, but undisclosed customers may account for a likely difference in timeline between contract approval and official release of the same information. |

575 unassigned aircraft for China is a bit much... True, but I believe at least 50-60% is for Chinese airlines. Boeing currently has a habbit of announcing them one by one, not seldom of the day they are delivered. And it is known China needs a lot of aircraft in the coming years (from Boeing forecast last September) |
