Boeing just released its order and delivery totals for 2008. The year concluded with 662 commercial airplane orders, bringing the backlog to above 3,700. Boeing received orders for 93 787s, 484 737s, 54 777s, 28 767s, 3 747-8 VIPs. Of those 162 orders, unidentified customers ordered 162 aircraft, including 38 787s, 9 767s, 6 777s and 109 737s. Airbus is expected to release its 2008 order and delivery total later this month.
Deliveries in 2008 were down significantly from 2007, as a result of the IAM strike in September and October that halted jetliner production for 57-days.
