According to Flightglobal’s analysis the leading ACAS fleet database shows that as the significant ramp-up in orders are known to have collapsed within the last 24 months, by the end of June both manufacturers still held a combined backlog of 6,555 aircraft (4,165 narrowbodies and 2,390 widebodies).

It is down a relatively modest 10% from the height of two years ago, when numbers hit 7,299, nonetheless it is still in excess of twice the volume on the height of the last boom period a decade ago.

Airbus, boosted by the Emirates order for 32 A380s, goes to the show with its widebody backlog at an historic high.

The United Airlines order for 25 Boeing 787s and 25 Airbus A350s served to push the net order intake for widebodies to 122 in the first half of 2010.

A year ago, in the wake of the Paris air show, the first half net orders for widebodies were standing at a negative 34 after having a wave of cancellations.

Narrowbody net orders placed have still to demonstrate any signs of recovering immediately after their dramatic slide of the past three years, standing at just 91 new net orders for the first half of 2010, below the 150 posted at the half-way stage last year.

Empty Leg Flights Explained

Boeing 787 Becomes The First Composite Airliner To Fly

Following its first flight in December 2009, half a dozen Dreamliners have been criss-crossing the skies over Seattle, conducting continual flight tests. This weekend, the aircraft is set to land at Farnborough in England for its first appearance at the Farnborough air show where it is anticipated to be the main attraction.

Manufacturing any aircraft is definitely an incredibly manual process that requires great skills – a great deal more so than car production, in particular, where robots are utilized extensively. But in the case of the Dreamliner, the challenges are greater than normal.

The laborers here have had to familiarise themselves with numerous new technologies, ranging from complicated electrics to new materials. They’ve also had to have difficulty both with poor logistics management and with parts shortages, resulting from Boeing’s bungled effort to outsource much of the job to external suppliers. Probably the biggest issue they have had is getting their suppliers and supply network to be on the same page,thereby making sure that the work carried out by the suppliers is done on time.

Unfortunately for Boeing despite all their efforts to solve these issues for months now, the problems are certainly not going away. In June, Boeing found that tail parts on some Dreamliners hadn’t been properly fitted, a mistake which could take eight days per airplane to fix. As such a lot of of the 787 was outsourced, there might be other components embedded deep in the plane that might need to be checked too. Boeing simply cannot keep having issues like this appear every couple of months – the cost of production slow-downs and even pauses will cut into the programs profitability.

Mr O’Leary of Ryanair was forced to apologise, saying Sir Stelios was not personally accountable for Easyjet not publishing weekly information on their on-time performance. In response Sir Stelios dedicated the victory to everyone “who have suffered verbal abuse at the hands of O’Leary”. In a libel suit that was eventually settled out of court, with Sir Stelios accepting £50,100 in damages, which he will donate to his philanthropic foundation.

For some time now the rivalry between the two low-cost airliners has often been centred around advertising. In the past both carriers have referred one another to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) over various ad campaigns. Only this Wednesday Ryanair was punished by the ASA for misleading customers with low fare offers, following a complaint from Easyjet.
