Airbus received 1000 orders for planes in 2025, with its order book rising by 889 after taking cancellations into account, to a record 8754 aircraft.
The A320 family of medium-haul, single-aisle aircraft received the largest number of orders at 656.
Boeing is scheduled to publish its annual delivery and order figures this week.
The US manufacturer delivered 537 aircraft in the first 11 months of the year, its best result for that period since 2018, before the crashes of two 737 MAX aircraft sent the company into a crisis.
Boeing is coming off a particularly difficult 2024, during which it delivered just 348 commercial planes because of labour disruptions and safety setbacks hobbling production.
Analysts forecast Boeing will end up having delivered between 590 and 610 aircraft in 2025.
Boeing also enjoyed a solid 2025 in terms of orders because of the aggressive trade policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration.
It had 999 net orders as of the end of November.
It had 6616 commercial aircraft on its order book, including 4319 for the 737 MAX, the latest model of its medium-haul, single-aisle aircraft that with the A320 are the workhorses of the commercial airline industry.
