Industry demand is “strong”
Boeing’s relatively quiet presence in Paris does not indicate a wider demand crisis In this department. Manufacturers sealed a number of orders during U.S. President Donald Trump’s trip to the Middle East in May, including 210-JET Trading With Qatar Airways.
Meanwhile, both Boeing and Airbus have overloaded aircraft 5,000 and 8,000 Aircraft numbers are hardly busy for decades respectively as industry supply challenges (as the pandemic) intensifies, causing airlines to work hard to renew their aging fleets.
John Plueger, CEO of Air Lease Corp, Tell CNBC Earlier this week, the backlog means that this performance is always expected to be a gentle show in Paris compared to the past, including the post-pandemic boom in 2023.

Starting in 2019, its B737-Max model has had two fatal crashes, followed by a pandemic that has put the industry into turmoil and then through a fresh crisis. Emergency exit door blows,,,,, Allegations of widespread quality control issuesand More and more lost customers on delivery delays – Boeing has had a tough time.

Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury told CNBC on Monday that the “consequences, the impact of the Indian air accident” is hanging in Paris. “The industry is very strong despite this,” he continued, noting that demand for wide-body aircraft is more catching up in the midst of the pandemic than narrow markets.
Dan Taylor, director of consulting at IBA, told CNBC that the split between Boeing and Airbus this year is “more about background than competition.”
“Boeing’s recent order from the Middle East, with the help of US diplomatic involvement, has a quiet stance that India may affect its lower visibility at the Paris Air Show. This is not a sign of weakening demand, but a deliberate pause in a deliberate moratorium on geopolitical background and possible tariffs,” Taylor said.
“In view of the latest crisis, airlines may be busy reevaluating fleet strategies, but strong profitability, aging fleets, reduced debt levels, and continued GDP and increased travel demand in many regions are all demonstrating the ongoing long-term appetite of new aircraft.”
