TSX lower as gold rally takes a breather
Investing.com -- Airbus has broken a major commercial barrier as its A320 family of planes overtook the Boeing 737 to become the most-delivered jetliner in history.
The European aircraft manufacturer surpassed Boeing’s decades-old record when it delivered an A320 jet to Saudi carrier Flynas on Tuesday. This milestone delivery brought the total number of A320 family aircraft delivered to 12,260 since the plane began service in 1988, according to benchmark data from UK-based consultancy Cirium.
The Cirium data, which is widely used across the aviation industry, confirms Airbus has now claimed the title for the most-delivered commercial aircraft model from its American rival Boeing.
The A320 family has been in service for 37 years, with the first aircraft entering commercial operations in 1988.
