Farbborough: Boeing en Airbus vechten om orders
July 16, 2018 - Boeing, Airbus en de Braziliaanse vliegtuigbouwer Embraer openden de Farnborough air show met een lawine aan ordertoezeggingen – de meeste als bevestiging van eerder aangekondigde afspraken.
FlightGlobal’s order tracker reports that Airbus opened the air show on Monday morning with a double-deal for A350 widebodies from Sichuan Airlines and StarLux Airlines worth $9.2 billion.
Boeing kicked off its order announcements at the show with a commitment from DHL Express for 14 Boeing 777 freighters; while lessor Jackson Square Aviation becomes the 100th Max customer in placing its first direct order, signing for 30 Boeing 737 Max 8s. Both orders total $9.3 billion.
