Boeing Fails To Bring In Orders At The Paris Air Show
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 get one solitary contract and its main competitor Airbus was only able to receive just one sell from Qatar Airways for 27 jets.
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 winner of the day ended up being Canada?s Bombardier airplane. The Canadian airplane maker announced that it had 35 offers for its CRJ100 jets offered by Air Nostrum, the deal is worth $1.75 billion. Bombardier are characteristically smaller planes and don?t travel the vast distances that Airbus and Boeing jets 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 get better for the Chicago based company, or perhaps it is time for them to start producing the smaller jets that seem to be selling better. - 23167
