Boeing prepares for Paris Air Show with diverse product lineup

Boeing President and CEO Kelly Ortberg stated: "We continue to make fundamental changes across Boeing to strengthen safety, quality, and our culture, and we are seeing steady improvement in our performance. We look forward to connecting with our customers and partners at Le Bourget to demonstrate the work underway to restore trust and move Boeing forward."

The Pavilion will also host tech demonstrations highlighting Boeing’s capabilities in satellite operations, autonomous tools, digital aviation tools as well as technologies related to aircraft modification and fleet sustainment. Additionally, Boeing's subsidiary Wisk Aero will display its sixth-generation autonomous electric air taxi.

Wisk's eVTOL aircraft is undergoing flight testing under a Special Airworthiness Certificate aiming for FAA type certification with plans for commercial operations by 2032. Boeing executives are scheduled to participate in forums covering topics like sustainable aviation fuel and advanced aerospace technologies.

As Boeing enters this year's show in a stronger position than before with over 300 new orders recorded last May while Airbus reported none. This raises expectations for potential announcements from both manufacturers during the week despite ongoing supply chain issues that could affect their scale or timing.
