Boeing for the Win – Airways | Airlines

DUBAI — The first trade day of the 2023 edition of the Dubai Airshow has come to an end, and what a day! Split across seven different announcements, Day 1 of DAS2023 collected over 300 orders from commercial airlines just from Europe and the Middle East.

Rephrased: At the Paris Air Show 2023, Airbus emerged as the most profitable manufacturer in terms of orders, thanks to the record-breaking 500-aircraft order from Indigo (6E). However, the tide has now turned, as Boeing has secured orders for an impressive 271 aircraft units from six different carriers and lessors.
