Airbus delivered a record number of planes in 2015 but failed to dethrone Boeing as the world's biggest aircraft manufacturer. The European company delivered a record 635 planes last year, compared with a tally of 762 jets for Boeing.
US manufacturer Boeing announced this week it has sold 60 aircraft to Brazil’s Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes, comprising the largest order ever from a single airline in South America. All 60 of the airplanes will be the 737 Max model, at a value of about 6 billion dollars at list price.
