Boeing leads in total aircraft orders after Paris Air Show

In terms of narrowbody aircraft sales this year, Airbus leads with a total of 431 single-aisle jets sold. The A320neo family continues to be a strong performer for Airbus, while their A220 received significant attention at Paris with an order from LOT for multiple units.

On the widebody front, despite fewer announcements at Paris due to prior commitments like investigating AI171 crash implications, Boeing remains dominant. The company reported substantial widebody sales earlier in May through a large order from Qatar Airways encompassing both the Boeing 777X and Boeing 787 models.

Airbus also saw notable success in its twin-aisle market segment with increased interest in its A350-1000 model this year following orders from airlines like Riyadh Air and Starlux Airlines.

Overall, both companies have experienced robust sales across different market segments this year despite challenges faced by each manufacturer. While Airbus excels in single-aisle sales, particularly through its A320neo line-up, Boeing maintains strength within widebody offerings through established models like the Dreamliner series.
