Most of them are Boeing it seems:

  14x Airbus
  35x Boeing
  5x  Bombardier
  3x  Embraer

View on HN

And until last year, most of the planes in the sky were also Boeing. And the Boeing planes in the sky, on average, are older.

For a fair comparison, this should be measured against flight hours per manufacturer

Takeoff/landing cycles, actually. Cruising at high altitude is much less rough on the airframe (including windows) than the strains that happen when changing altitude.

A quick search gave me 12K vs 10K planes. I couldn't find the actual hours or number of flights

Does Boeing also have more plans in service and/or more flights?

those don't mean much with out at least a "out of X planes from manufacturer Y"
