Here are the top twenty aircraft transactions for this year through September 2017.  We list these in order of highest to lowest.  Note the top twenty account for 617 out of 2,157 aircraft and sum to 28.6% of the total year to date.

Boeing has the lead at 302 compared to 214 for Airbus among the top twenty.  Here’s a breakdown by model, for each of these two big OEMs.

The data explains where each of the two big OEMs is strong and seeing a lot of market attention.  It also explains a lot about each company’s fortunes.  For example, nearly three-quarters of Airbus’ transactions are for the A320 family while at Boeing 48% of the transactions are for the 738NG.

Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.

  1. The model breakdown is very screwy! It certainly is not for 2017. Orders for A340, 747-400, 757 etc??????

  2. It is for 2017 – but it is for any aircraft transaction. It includes pre-owned aircraft. It is NOT a list of orders.
