* Boeing Co. has pulled ahead of rival Airbus Industrie in new orders so far this year, helped by Southwest Airlines Co.’s decision last week to buy 94 Boeing 737 jetliners. Southwest’s purchase gave Boeing orders for 295 jets for the year through June 30. Airbus won orders for 190 planes through May 30 and said in June that Korean Air Co. had exercised options for three planes. Its final tally for the six months, which may include as-yet-unannounced orders, will be released today.
