Boeing Co booked more than twice as many aircraft than rival Airbus SE in the six months ended June, and the planemaker said that deliveries rose more than 7 percent.
Boeing recorded 460 net aircraft orders during the period, it said, compared with Airbus`s 206.
Boeing has seen a rebound in new orders after losing last year`s race to Airbus.
The world`s biggest planemaker said deliveries rose about 7.4 percent to 378 aircraft, led by higher demand for its best selling single-aisle 737 jetliners.
Last week, Airbus said it delivered 303 aircraft in the first half of the year, down about 1 percent compared with a year earlier.
