Orders for January totalled 31 with Ethiopian Airlines ordering 11 A350-900 and Delta Airlines ordering 20 A350-1000s.

The strong start follows a year which saw Airbus out perform Boeing with 735 deliveries compared to the Seattle manufacturers 528.

Airbus continues its march towards its first 1,000 delivery year which could come soon as production of almost all models continues to be ramped up.
