Boeing booked 1,203 net commercial aircraft orders and delivered 601 aircraft in 2012, the company said Thursday.
The orders mark the second best year in company history, trailing only the banner year of 2007, when Boeing’s net aircraft orders topped 1,400.
Deliveries in 2012, up 26% from 2011, were the most by the company since 1999. “Boeing’s unfilled commercial airplane orders at the end of the year stood at 4,373 [including 3,074 737 orders], the most in company history,” the manufacturer said in a statement.
The 2012 order frenzy was led by the 737 program, which took in 1,124 net orders, including 914 orders for the re-engined 737 MAX.
Airbus has not yet released its order and delivery totals for 2012, but it looks unlikely it will surpass Boeing.
Boeing added that 49 total 787s have been delivered to eight customers.
