Billions in Deals Signed on First Day of Show
Order activity led by A320neo deal from GECAS, Max 10 commitments from several customers

A raft of orders and memoranda of understanding on Sunday at the Paris Air Show yielded several billion dollars worth of business for airframers and engine makers, making the first day of the show even more lucrative than many expected. Led by Boeing’s projections for orders covering at least 240 of its newly launched 737 Max 10 and a firm order for 100 Airbus A320-family narrowbodies from GECAS, the sales punctuated a day of frenetic business activity at a hot and steamy Le Bourget Airport.
