More than 240 people were killed when an Air India Boeing 787 plane for London crash A few moments after taking off from the city of Ahmedabad on Thursday, the authorities said, during the worst aviation catastrophe of the world in a decade.

Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said in a message to the staff on Thursday evening that he and the Boeing Boeing boss, Stephanie Pope, had canceled the plans to attend the Paris air show “so that we can be with our team and focus on our client and the investigation.”

The air show, which takes place from June 16 to 20 at Le Bourget, is the largest trade fair in the world aviation industry, where generally numerous aircraft orders have gone through airlines.

Ortberg had to attend for the first time as CEO of Boeing since he had been appointed to direct the company of a series of Consecutive security, industrial and corporate crises.

The manufacturer of plane engines Ge Aerospace, whose engines were on the Boeing 787 plane, had planned for a day of investors on June 17, coinciding with the show.

GE said the briefing had been canceled and that it would bring together a team to go to India and analyze data from the crushed aircraft.

“The senior management of Ge Aerospace focuses on the support of our customers and the survey,” said the company. He said he was planning to give a financial update later this month.

Security experts stressed that it was too early to speculate why one of the most modern line planes in the world should crash shortly after takeoff. The accidents of this flight phase are rare, said Paul Hayes, director of security at the British council Cirium Ascend.

Indians investigation Accident is currently focusing on the engine, the shutters and the landing train, Reuters reported on Friday, citing an anonymous source, while the country’s regulator ordered security checks throughout the Boeing-787 India fleet.

Under the rules of global aviation, India will lead the investigation with the support of NTSB investigators in the United States, who, in turn, will be Boeing and GE on technical issues.

The reduced attendance plans have occurred while the delegates said that the accident had thrown a dark mood on the air show, questioning several order announcements and presented security alongside concerns about American prices.

The largest global aviation trade exhibition, from June 16 to 20 at Le Bourget, generally offers aircraft and weapon manufacturers a key step to present agreements and set the tone for a global supply chain already under pressure by shortages.

Boeing shares were down on Friday, down 3.8%, while Ge Aerospace fell 2.4%.

Boeing has canceled certain events and it is unlikely that it will make commercial order announcements at the show, although it will move forward with discreet briefs on other subjects, the delegates said.

An expected key announcement had been a potential order for dozens of Boeing Jets, including the 787 of Royal Air Maroc. But the airline does not provide any announcements to the show, which will also affect Airbus, which was to sell it some 20 A220, said industry sources.

None of the companies have comment on specific agreements.

On Friday, the CEO of Airbus expressed condolences with regard to the accident, and the world’s largest plan in the world was to observe a misery tone surrounding what was to be a busy week for orders to meet high demand.

A delegate said that business would continue, but with less press conferences and ads in person associated with the largest commercial showcase in industry.

Another said that some order advertisements could be delayed until later in the year as a brand of respect for the victims.

“The show will be much darker, less festive,” said a delegate involved in planning such an ad, speaking anonymously because the plans have not been publicly revealed.

“The show will take place as planned, but it will be more moderate and with less cheerleading,” said the delegate.
