Airbus Orders and new models took the stage at the Paris Air Show this year as a US rival. Boeing In the enterprise, it is another major industrial activity that holds a low profile due to turmoil.

Airlines and manufacturers use the air shows as an opportunity to make a jumping plane purchasing announcements that will be wrapped in the event after the negotiations that lasted for months. Airbus, Thursday morning, a Reuters calculation.

On Monday, including 132 firm orders from customers Saudi Rental Company AvileaseAccording to a gang made by IBA, the aviation advisor is against Japan’s main and Poland’s party, 41 for Boeing and 15 to the Embraer of Brazil.

The next two days saw that Boeing had completely withdrawn from the announcements, while the Airbus jumped with Vietjet Air, a single corridor 100 A321neos, 150 aircraft memorandum and its wide body A350s and Egyptair and Starlux airlines.

Air Asia Chief Tony Fernandes said that on Thursday, CNBC has discussed the expansion of the company in Paris Available order The flagship of the-tooulouse-based Planemaker for Airbus XLR has expected an announcement in the next month. The model, which was put into service last year, will allow the airlines to offer medium and long -distance routes due to lower fuel costs.

Embraer also made a significant profit with more options for E175 on Wednesday with more options.

Boeing’s relatively silent presence in Paris is not an indication of a wider demand crisis in the sector. Producer, US President Donald Trump’s ride to the Middle East in May 210-Jet Qatar Airways agreement.

By the way, both Boeing and Airbus, 5,000 And 8,000 Respectively, as the industry supply difficulties – as the pandema worse, the figures that barely bombed for almost decades for almost ten years are struggling to renew their aging fleets.

John Plueger, CEO of Air Lease Corp, said at the beginning of this week that the accumulated work has always been a demonstration in Paris compared to the past, including the Pandemic explosion year of 2023. The demand environment continues to be very solid, Plueger said.

However, this points to another year when Boeing avoids aircraft flies or major promotional activities. Starting after two deadly accidents of the B737-MAX model from 2019, following the pande of the sector, and then through the emergency exit gate explosion, the fresh quality control problems and increasingly delivered to the delivery delays of customers who have been delivered in an increasing way made a host to avoid spotlight.

Just as 2025 could represent a temporary turning point for the company, CEO Kelly Ortby’s joining Paris, the first accident of Boeing Dreamliner in the Air India disaster last week threw it into turmoil. Ortberg withdrew from participating in the event and the company said that it was focused on the investigation into its customers and the causes of the accident.

Law firm DLA Piper Partner Tony Payne, “New aircraft demand, only with the demand for passenger for air travel, continues to be unseen.” He said.

Authorized, although the Air India accident is “a gloomy and reflective environment”, the orders remain strong, because stakeholders are well aware of the effect of any relaxation of the standards “.

“Orders are strong for new aircraft and engines, but as well as a gloomy and reflective environment in which stakeholders are aware of the effect of the relaxation of standards.”

“Silent” therefore became the word of the week in terms of commercial aviation, defense – Almost half of the content of the show This year, the Middle Eastern conflict, the Russian-Ukraine War and the higher national security expenditures will always be a larger role between an upcoming NATO summit on the agenda. Agreements in this field were included Thales‘ agreement To build 48 of the new artillery systems for the French government.

Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury said on Monday, “The results of the Air India accident, the effect of the Air India accident” is hanging on Paris. “Nevertheless, the acceleration in the industry is very strong,” he continued, said the demand for large body aircraft that captured Pandemi more than the narrow body market.

IBA Consulting President Dan Taylor told CNBC that the division between Boeing and Airbus this year was “more than competition about the context”.

“Boeing’s latest orders in the Middle East, which helped US diplomatic participation in the Middle East, and India’s silent stance affected the lower visibility of India in the Paris Air Show. This is not a sign of slimming demand, but an essential geopolitical floor and possible reconstruction,” he said.

“Airlines are busy re -evaluating fleet strategies, but strong profitability, aging fleets alleviate the levels of debt, and the continuation of GDP and travel demands in many regions point to a long -term appetite for new aircraft.”
