Embraer and Boeing Shine as Airshow Orders Approach $100B
Airlines from around the globe boosted backlogs for both narrowbody and widebody airliners on the second day of the 2018 Farnborough air show.

Tuesday brought a second flurry of significant commercial airliner orders to airframers at the Farnborough Airshow. The overall value totaled about $50 billion, with Embraer enjoying the headline-grabbing deals of the day (see page one) and Boeing regaining ground gained by Airbus on the show’s first day. The new business took the total value of new airliner contracts announced at the 2018 show close to $100 billion.
