Airliner Orders Hit $44B on Farnborough Airshow Opening Day
Airbus and Boeing were the main beneficiaries of some $40 billion in new business announced on the first day of the 2018 Farnborough show.

The opening of the Farnborough International Airshow yesterday saw airliner manufacturers add $43.6 billion to their combined order books, double that booked at the start of Farnborough 2016. This new business was generated by around two dozen varied and complexed contracts either signed or firmed up at the show.
