Boeing Fails To Bring In Orders At The Paris Air Show

By Jennifer McClelland

With the Air France calamity still awfully unsullied in everybody?s thoughts, above all individuals in Paris (where numerous of the victims were from), the Paris Air Show wasn?t the same spectacle it usually is. With it being the 100th anniversary of the show, it seems that the disaster of Air France Flight 447 is still weighing heavily 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 tricky time selling their wares considering the lack of commercial flying and even weakening military sales. If you look at commercial flight inside the United States, the majority of flights are on smaller regional jets like the Bombardiers now. When I booked a flight from Memphis to Washington D.C., I was only able to fly on smaller regional jets versus just a couple years previously when the same trip could have been booked on a Boeing 727 or Airbus.

Boeing did try to brighten up the mood concerning its sales though:

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

With any luck things will recuperate for the Chicago located company, or perhaps it is time for them to start producing the smaller jets that seem to be selling better. - 23208
