The news is out that with the addition of the Spirit order for 30 aircraft the amount of firm orders placed for the A320 family stands at more then 5000.

“The A319 program was launched in 1993 with the first aircraft entering service in 1996. It is the third derivative in the ever-popular A320 Family. Firm orders for the A320 Family – consisting of the 107-seat A318, 124-seat A319, 150-seat A320 and 185-seat A321 – currently stand at more than 5,000 aircraft with this new order.”
Befor people jump down my throat, Yes Boeing has orders for 7000 737’s but this spans 3 generations of aircraft (200,300,400,500,600,700,800 and 900)
But the Airbus A320 is still a single generation airplane, no revisions or tweaks unlike its boeing competitor.

I’d like to see what the sales figures would be if it’d been in production the same amount of time as the 737 series
completely depends on how the LOCO boom progresses.

When I saw the title for this post i thought it meant there were firm orders for an A320-5000 model. (i.e. a new NG one)!
