Airbus Monday said it had a very successful year in 2013 with new records in orders, deliveries and backlog.

Airbus achieved its new industry record of 1,619 gross orders for the A320, A330, A350 XWB and A380 product line, and another record set with 626 aircraft deliveries completed during the 12-month period. By year end, the backlog had climbed to an industry wide record of 5,559 aircraft, valued at US$809 billion at list prices.
