Boeing signed a $27 billion agreement on the second to last day of the Dubai Airshow with UAE-based flydubai for 225 of the manufacturer’s 737 Max narrowbody airliners. Airbus countered with the announcement of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with private equity firm Indigo Partners for 430 A320neo narrowbodies, destined for four airlines. That deal, if ultimately completed, would come to close to $50 billion at list prices.
