http://surf.to/orders: Commercial aircraft orders for '99

1999 order summary
1999 order news
1999 cancelled aircraft
1999 new leased aircraft

The aim of this table is to provide an overview of the '99 orders for commercial aircraft. Listed are mainly firm orders. Letters of intent (LOI) or memorandum of understandings (MOU) are only listed if they have a high chance to be converted in a firm order. Those MOU and LOI are marked as bold.

NOTE: This is not an official source, see also the disclaimer.

There are four totals which are presented :

• The total of orders, MOU and LOI.
• The total firm orders.
• The total for MOU and LOI.
• The total converted and cancelled orders.

The information was collected by using different sources. However errors are human, if you think that an order is missing or not correct feel free to post me an . Don't forget to tell me your source.

The table is quite wide so I recommend a landscape setup if you want to print out this page. For a better overview I added the plane identification several times in the middle of the table.

The orders are presented with :

the company name its two digit code the announcement date of the order

the region of the company : EU Europe AS Asia NA Northamerica SA Southamerica ME Middle East AF Africa PA Pacific LE Leasing

the source is also listed A Airbus B Boeing C CNN E Aero Intl. F Flight Intl. I Infoseek L Bloomberg N Newspage R Reuters S Seattle times O Other

COMMENT: My Boeing number is of 395 vs. 391 firm orders announced by Boeing. The difference can be explained by the B738 order of China Airlines. I will exclude the 3 VIP aircrafts in the next update. Concerning the Airbus orders my total is off by 2, 474 vs. 476, consisting of 2 A319CJs. Finally note that this is not an official source, see also the disclaimer.

Note that :

I did not include the engine types.
The BBJ and ACJ corporate jets are not included, since they don't have more than 100 passengers seats. They are business jets and are no commercial aircraft, even if their roots are a B737-700 or A319.
Orders by non-civil customers are not included.
The A342 orders are listed in the A343 column with a *
The B733 orders are listed in the B734 column with a *
The B735 orders are listed in the B734 column with a +

Due to the large size of the present table the download may be a bit slow ....

NOTE

The official order figures for Airbus (476) and Boeing (391) are different from those listed in these tables. Airbus has two ACJ which are not counted here, Boeing did not disclose the add-on order for 5 B738 from China Airlines. They might be included in the undisclosed orders of 15-Dec.
