Airbus set to trump Boeing in sales race

[W.G.Ewald]

Airbus, the main subsidiary of EADS, has enjoyed 2011 largely thanks to strong demand for a revamped version of its A320 narrow-body workhorse.

Yeah airbus has the commercial market by the scruff of the neck. The delay in Dreamliner didn't help Boeing.
