Even as this poignant moment passes,  looking back, who benefited from the demise of  Douglas?  Let’s look at a few key markets.

The following chart shows that within the US, the winner was Boeing. (Note all 2013 data is through 2Q13.)

In Europe, it was Airbus which took up the Douglas share.

In the Middle East it appears Airbus won again, but with a strong 2013 showing for Boeing.
