Paris 2011: $22 Billion More Business on Day Two of Le Bourget Salon
Another day, and plenty more dollars.

Another day, and plenty more dollars. The second day of the 2011 Paris Air Show saw yet more major orders for airliners and the engines that power them.

According to pricing analysis by AIN, the sales tally at Le Bourget on Tuesday reached almost $25 billion–not counting associated support contracts. This means that in the first two days of the show, the industry has already generated at least $60 billion in new business. By way of comparison, the 2008 Farnborough International airshow–the last major aerospace fair ahead of the global financial crisis–raised around $52 billion in a whole week.
