Boeing forecasts strong widebody ordering in 2011
Boeing expects widebody ordering to bounce back this year, after narrowbodies dominated its order book in 2010. Boeing Commercial Airplanes VP of sales, Marlin Dailey, stated the company expects the overall monetary value of orders to increase in 2011, with widebodies expected to account for 50% of this, up from 20% in 2010. Boeing's 2010 orders had a list value of approximately USD49.5 billion.
