The sun shone on the 2014 Farnborough International Airshow and exhibiting airliner manufacturers and engine suppliers certainly took every opportunity to make hay while the sun was shining, logging orders totaling almost $168 billion (according to AIN estimates). Airbus, which launched its new A330neo model, led the way with orders and commitments collectively valued at just over $75 billion, but Boeing also cashed in with about $40 billion on announced new business, including more orders for its just-certified 787-9 Dreamliner, which made its international debut at the event.
