Boeing Co. blew past an order record it set two years ago, selling 1,413 commercial jets in 2007 while delivering 441 planes, its best showing in six years.
The single-aisle 737 remains its best-seller, followed by the new midsize, long-haul 787 Dreamliner, which is scheduled to begin flight testing by spring.
Analysts expect rival Airbus SAS to come out ahead on both orders and deliveries.
The Toulouse, France-based company had delivered 410 planes and logged 1,204 orders as of the end of November, the latest update available. However, that order total does not factor in cancellations or conversions; Boeing's does.

Wall Street rose Wednesday on some strong earnings and new deals, but not without a struggle, as mounting signs of a tougher lending climate again dogged investors.
The stock market, coming off Tuesday's 226-point tumble in the Dow Jones industrial average, seesawed throughout Wednesday's session. Ultimately, it drew confidence from better-than-expected quarterly profits at Web retailer Amazon.com Inc. and plane manufacturer Boeing Co., and acquisitions involving German engineering company Siemens AG and drug maker Merck & Co.
Still, some investors worry that deteriorating lending conditions will cork this year's heavy stream of dealmaking. Buyouts usually involve taking on debt, and Wednesday, the banks raising funds for the turnaround of Chrysler Group had to postpone a $12 billion debt offer after investors balked at the deal's terms, according to people familiar with the situation who were not authorized to speak publicly.
Meanwhile, the National Association of Realtors on Wednesday confirmed that the housing market is far from recovery when it reported that sales of existing homes dropped 3.8 percent in June to the slowest rate in more than 4 years. The figure was worse than analysts expected, and followed data from the Mortgage Bankers Association showing mortgage applications fell for the first time in four weeks to a five-month low.
Wall Street, now at the peak of second-quarter earnings season, has been extremely volatile lately. For seven straight sessions, the market has risen one day, fallen the next, then risen again. Over that span, the Dow has lost 165.91 points, or 1.2 percent.
The market will likely remain rocky as investors try to assess whether problems related to home lending will hurt the broader economy.

Stocks rose on Wednesday, bouncing back from the prior session's tumble, as solid profits and outlooks from Boeing Co (NYSE:BA - News) and Amazon.com Inc. (NasdaqGS:AMZN - News) quashed concerns about the housing slump.
Financial company shares, which declined sharply on Tuesday, also underpinned the market's rebound, with Citigroup (NYSE:C - News) rising 1.1 percent to $49.87.
Aircraft manufacturer Boeing's shares jumped more than 3 percent to a record $107.80 as it led advances on the Dow, while Internet retailer Amazon.com shares gained more than 21 percent to lead gainers on both the Nasdaq and the S&P 500.
Investors will seek direction from data on existing-home sales in June due at 10 a.m. (1400 GMT). Sales are forecast to have fallen to 5.87 million units at an annual rate from 5.99 million in May, according to a Reuters poll of economists. The Dow Jones industrial average (DJI:^DJI - News) was up 69.42 points, or 0.51 percent, at 13,786.37. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (^SPX - News) was up 10.16 points, or 0.67 percent, at 1,521.20. The Nasdaq Composite Index (Nasdaq:^IXIC - News) was up 19.36 points, or 0.73 percent, at 2,659.22.
The rebound follows stocks' worst one-day performance in four months on Tuesday, fueled by disappointing earnings and fear about spreading losses in the mortgage market.
Shares of Amazon.com climbed to $84.20 on the Nasdaq. Several brokerages raised their ratings on the stock.
In other earnings news, manufacturer Rockwell Automation Inc (NYSE:ROK - News) also reported a profit above Wall Street's expectations on strong foreign demand for its industrial control systems. Its stock rose 2.9 percent to $72.77.
Shares of iPod and iPhone maker Apple Inc. (NasdaqGS:AAPL - News), among Tuesday's biggest losers, were up 1.1 percent at $136.37 ahead of the company's quarterly results due after the close.

Wall Street appeared poised for a rebound on Wednesday after strong quarterly earnings from Amazon.com Inc. and Boeing Co. helped offset fears about the slumping mortgage industry's impact on the overall economy.
The move higher would follow Wall Street's tumble on that took the Dow Jones industrials down more than 200 points. Investors were rattled by disappointing earnings and renewed concerns about the mortgage lending market.
Investors will get a better glimpse of the economy later Wednesday when the National Association of Realtors reports on existing home sales for June. The market anticipates that 5.85 million homes were resold in June, down from 5.99 million in May, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed as of Friday by Thomson Financial.
The report follows data that showed mortgage applications fell for the first time in four weeks, hitting a five-month low as demand wanes. The Mortgage Bankers Association said its seasonally adjusted index of mortgage applications for the week ended July 20 fell 3.6 percent to 609.0 -- the lowest level since the week ended Feb. 16.
The market's drop on Tuesday was in part pinned on Countrywide Financial Corp., which missed analysts' expectations for second-quarter profit. The Calabasas, Calif.-based company also warned the struggling industry will grow even worse this year.
Dow futures expiring in September rose 64, or 0.46 percent, to 13,877 ahead of Wednesday's open, while Standard & Poor's 500 index futures rose 6.30, or 0.41 percent, to 1,528.80. Nasdaq 100 index futures rose 8.50, or 0.42 percent, to 2,034.00.
