Boeing Fails To Bring In Orders At The Paris Air Show
With the Air France calamity still awfully unsullied in everybody?s thoughts, above all individuals in Paris (where numerous of the victims were from), the Paris Air Show wasn?t the same spectacle it usually is. With it being the 100th anniversary of the show, it seems that the disaster of Air France Flight 447 is still weighing heavily on airlines.
At the opening day of the Air Show, Boeing didn?t get one solitary contract and its main competitor Airbus was only able to receive just one sell from Qatar Airways for 27 jets.
The purchase from Airbus for the 24 A320 single aisle airplanes is worth $1.9 billion, well that?s the list cost anyway. Typically airlines, particularly given the global economic condition, are able to haggle down the price to a much more sensible level.
The big winner of the day ended up being Canada?s Bombardier airplane. The Canadian airplane maker announced that it had 35 offers for its CRJ100 jets offered by Air Nostrum, the deal is worth $1.75 billion. Bombardier are characteristically smaller planes and don?t travel the vast distances that Airbus and Boeing jets do.
Boeing has been having a tricky time selling their wares considering the lack of commercial flying and even weakening military sales. If you look at commercial flight inside the United States, the majority of flights are on smaller regional jets like the Bombardiers now. When I booked a flight from Memphis to Washington D.C., I was only able to fly on smaller regional jets versus just a couple years previously when the same trip could have been booked on a Boeing 727 or Airbus.
Boeing did try to brighten up the mood concerning its sales though:
?At this time it appears to us that the economic situation have bottomed. If they have bottomed and a upturn occurs next year, I think we have a attempt at getting through,? said Scott Carson, president and CEO of Boeing?s marketable division.
With any luck things will recuperate for the Chicago located company, or perhaps it is time for them to start producing the smaller jets that seem to be selling better. - 23310
