Boeing Does Not Bring In Any Orders At The Paris Air Show

By Jennifer McClelland

With the Air France disaster still very fresh in everyone?s minds, particularly those in Paris (where many of the fatalities were from), the Paris Air Show wasn?t the same display it typically is. With it being the 100th anniversary of the exhibition, it looks that the catastrophe of Air France Flight 447 is nevertheless weighing forcefully on airlines.

At the opening day of the Air Show, Boeing didn?t receive one solitary sale and its main competition Airbus was only capable to obtain just one sell from Qatar Airways for 27 airplanes.

The buy from Airbus for the 24 A320 solo passageway airplanes is worth $1.9 billion, well that?s the list cost anyway. Frequently airlines, particularly given the global economic state, are able to haggle down the cost to a much more logical level.

The big champion of the day was being Canada?s Bombardier airliner. The Canadian aircraft maker announced that it had 35 offers for its CRJ100 airplanes accessible by Air Nostrum, the agreement is worth $1.75 billion. Bombardier are usually smaller planes and don?t travel the immense distances that Airbus and Boeing airplanes do.

Boeing has been having a difficult time selling their goods considering the deficiency of industrial flying and even waning military sales. If you look at commercial trip within the United States, the bulk of flights are on smaller district airplanes like the Bombardiers at the present. When I booked a trip from Memphis to Washington D.C., I was only able to fly on smaller regional airplanes versus just a couple years ago when the same flight could have been booked on a Boeing 727 or Airbus.

Boeing did try to stimulate the mood regarding its sales however:

?At this point it appears to us that the economic circumstances have bottomed. If they have bottomed and a revival happens next year, I think we have a shot at getting through,? said Scott Carson, president and CEO of Boeing?s commercial division.

Hopefully things will recover for the Chicago located company, or possibly it is time for them to start producing the smaller airplanes that appear to be selling better. - 23212
