Airbus COO-Customers John Leahy has conceded the top spot in 2007 orders to Boeing. Speaking yesterday to ATWOnline in Sydney about the prospect of another come-from-behind order surge, he said Airbus has "outsold Boeing every year for the last five years. I think it's always nice to share as long as we stay within a 40% to 60% band. There are two players in the market and you don't have a very stable market if one is always on top." But he reminded media that Airbus will deliver more aircraft (420) than Boeing in 2006 and 2007.
