Airbus, Boeing Neck and Neck in Farnborough Airshow Orders
A Look at the Numbers
At last month's Farnborough Airshow, Boeing announced orders for hundreds more planes than Europe-based Airbus. However, overall year to date, Boeing is still trailing badly following a string of safety concerns. This week's Farnborough International Airshow is likely to provide significant additional orders for both companies.
Here's a breakdown of the orders announced at the airshow:
- Boeing: 20 firm orders for its 787 Dreamliner from Korean Air
- Airbus: 14 firm orders for its A321neo from an undisclosed customer
What It Means
The orders announced at Farnborough are a sign that the aviation industry is recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Airlines are starting to place orders for new planes to meet the growing demand for air travel.
The orders also show that Boeing is starting to recover from the safety concerns that have plagued the company in recent years. The company has taken steps to address these concerns, and it is starting to see the results.
What's Next
The Farnborough International Airshow is one of the world's largest air shows. It is a showcase for the latest products and technologies from the aviation industry. This year's show is expected to draw more than 150,000 attendees.
The show will feature a variety of aircraft, including static displays of aircraft parked on the tarmac. There will also be a number of conferences and seminars on the latest trends in the aviation industry.
