Airbus orders dominate Paris Air Show as Boeing takes backseat — again

Airbus Orders and new models have taken the central stadium at the Air Paris Salon this year, such as its American rival Boeing Spend another major industrial event to keep a low profile due to business disorders.

Airlines and manufacturers use air shows as an opportunity to make advertisements to buy splashes after months of negotiations, some of which will be wrapped during the event. Airbus had accumulated almost $ 21 billion Thursday morning, according to a Reuters calculation.

This included 132 companies of companies on Monday, customers, including Saudi rental company AvilleaseThe Lot of Ana and Poland in Japan, against 41 for Boeing and 15 to embrace Brazil, according to a statement by Advisory IBA aviation.

The following two days saw Boeing hold back completely from the announcements, while Airbus splashed a 150 aerial memorandum with Vietjet Air focused on his 100 A321neos with the unique soul, and commands with Egypair and Starlux Airlines for his wide bound A350.

Air chief Asia Tony Fernandes said to CNBC Thursday, he had discussions in Paris on the expansion of the company existing order For the Airbus XLR – The plane lighthouse of the plan of the plan of the plan of the plan of the plan of the Toulouse plan, and expected an announcement in next month. The model, which Having entered the service last yearshould allow airlines to offer average and long roads at lower rates due to the reduction in fuel costs.

Embraer also obtained a key victory Wednesday with 60 firm orders for the E175, as well as other options.

The relatively silent presence of Boeing in Paris is not revealing a wider demand crisis in the sector. The manufacturer sealed numerous orders during the May trip of American president Donald Trump in the Middle East, including a DEAL of 210 Jets With Qatar Airways.

Boeing and Airbus have 5,000 And 8,000 The planes, respectively, the figures which barely moved for almost a decade, because the challenges of the supply of the industry – exacerbated following the pandemic – leave the airlines which have trouble renewing their aging fleets.

John Plueger, Managing Director of Air Lease Corp, said to CNBC Earlier this week that the backlog meant that it should always be a moderate show in Paris compared to those past, including the year of post-Pandemic boom of 2023. “Airbus and Boeing are all sold at 2031 and ’32 anyway. So, how many follow-up orders in the” 33, ’34, ’35 TALLE TALLE TALLE TALLE TALLE TALLE

However, this marks another year during which Boeing has abstained from plane flypasts or major promotional activities. From 2019 following the two fatal accidents of its B737-Max model, followed by the pandemic which threw the industry into the disorders, then with new crises delivered via a Emergency exit gate,, allegations of generalized quality control problemsAnd Customers increasingly deactivated on delivery delays – Boeing had a multitude of reasons to avoid the spotlight.

Just as 2025 appeared as it could represent a provisional turning point for the company, with CEO Kelly Ortberg which should attend Paris, Very first crash of a Boeing Dreamliner During the Air India disaster last week, it threw it into disarray. Ortberg retired from participation in the event, and the company has made some press announcements when it claims that it is focused on its customers and the investigation in the causes of the accident.

“The request for new planes remains unprecedented, equaled only by the request for passengers for plane trips,” said Tony Payne, partner of the Dla Piper law firm.

He added that the orders remain strong despite a “dark and reflective environment” following the India air accident, because stakeholders are “well aware of the impact” that any relaxation of standards may have.

“Orders of new planes and engines remain solid but alongside a dark and reflective environment, where stakeholders are well aware of the impact of any relaxation of standards.”

“MOITED” has therefore become the word of the week in terms of commercial aviation, while the defense – invents Almost half of the content of the program This year – assumes a larger role than ever in the middle Middle East rotation conflictThe Russian-Ukraine War and a next NATO summit in which higher national security spending will be high on the agenda. The offers in this space have included Thales‘ contract To build 48 of its new distance artillery systems for the French government.

“The consequences, the impact of the Air India accident” are suspended in Paris, said Airbus Guillaume Faury on Monday. “However, the momentum in the industry is very strong,” he continued, noting a special demand for large bodies which had more catch-up to make after the pandemic than the narrow body market.

Dan Taylor, head of the IBA council, told CNBC that the separation between Boeing and Airbus this year was “more on the context than on competition”.

“The recent orders of Boeing in the Middle East, helped by the American diplomatic commitment, and its calm post-Air position of India has probably influenced its lower visibility at the Paris air fair. This is not a sign of weakening of demand, but rather of a deliberate break in the middle of a volatile geopolitical backdrop and possible tariff uncertainty.”

“Airlines are probably busy reassessing fleet strategies given the last crisis, but high profitability, aging fleets, debt level and continuous growth in GDP and travel demand in many regions all highlighted a long -term appetite for new aircraft.”
