Recession bites at order books

Just how deep the current recession is hitting aircraft manufacturers can be seen from Boeing's order books for this year.
In the week ending March 3 the manufacturer booked just three commercial aircraft orders. Year to date the company has taken 22 orders compared to 190 for the same period in 2008. Of the 22 YTD, 13 are from Ryanair, 5 from Southwest and one from Alaska Airlines.
