Airbus A320 ousts Boeing 737 as most-delivered jet in history

PRAGUE (Reuters) -Europe's Airbus broke a major commercial barrier on Tuesday when its A320 family of planes overtook the Boeing 737 to become the most-delivered jetliner in history. Boeing's decades-old record fell as a jet was delivered overnight to Saudi carrier Flynas, bringing deliveries to 12,260 since the A320 began service in 1988, according to data from UK-based consultancy Cirium, which is used across the industry. Airbus did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the data, tracked by aircraft supply analyst Rob Morris. (Reporting by Tim Hepher, Editing by Louise Heavens)
