Sources, method and credits

Airbus and Boeing primary annual delivery reporting. 52 annual observations, 2000–2025, with a cumulative column calculated separately for each manufacturer. Raw annual Deliveries are retained. Totals since 2000, not all-time deliveries or aircraft still flying: Airbus 14,533; Boeing 12,771. Airbus A220 included from July 2018; reported 2021 headline 611 and adjusted 2022 headline 661 retained. Boeing includes intercompany commercial derivatives. Published boundaries are preserved rather than harmonised into a unique-airframe census. Intermediate animation is interpolation, not additional observations. See source notes for all primary tables and limits.
