BOEING has confirmed deliveries of 281 aircraft in 2003 and whilst at the time of going to press Airbus has not come up with a figure it is thought that the number could be as high as 310. The numbers are subject to a minor war between manufacturers and airlines with one group wanting to push aircraft out of the factory door and the customers not wishing to register new equipment until the next year. A 2004 model is going to be worth more than one built in 2003. In any event Boeing delivered 173 737s, 39 777s, 24 767s, 19 747s, 14 757s and 12 717s.
