Boeing 787 Order book

Up to August 3, 2010, the Boeing 787 had 847 Orders. In the last two years, the order book has gone backwards - notably the global financial crisis hitting the airlines hard. For each type of aircraft model, this is where the order book stands:

787-3
787-8                    190  
787-9                    657
Unspecified    
Total firm orders     847

Since launch, the year on year orders looks like this:

	2004	2005	2006	2007	2008	2009	2010	Total
Net orders	56	235	157	369	93	-59	-4	847

          

Canceled orders are indicative of the airline industry at the present time, however, with the cost savings that the 787 will deliver the obvious choice will be to replace aging fleets with this new aircraft in the years to come. So as Boeing rolls out it's latest baby, it is unbelievable that it is 10 years more advanced than the A380 which entered service in 2007! Even with the delays the Boeing 787 is a true magnificent airplane model.
