Boeing Fails To Bring In Orders At The Paris Air Show
With the Air France disaster still very fresh in everyone?s minds, especially those in Paris (where many of the fatalities were from), the Paris Air Show wasn?t the same display it typically is. With it being the 100th anniversary of the fair, it seems that the tragedy of Air France Flight 447 is in spite of everything weighing heavily on airlines.
At the opening day of the Air Show, Boeing didn?t receive one solitary sale and its main competition Airbus was only capable to obtain just one sell from Qatar Airways for 27 airplanes.
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 difficult time selling their goods considering the deficiency of industrial flying and even waning military sales. If you look at commercial trip within the United States, the bulk of flights are on smaller district airplanes like the Bombardiers at the present. When I booked a trip from Memphis to Washington D.C., I was only able to fly on smaller regional airplanes versus just a couple years ago when the same flight could have been booked on a Boeing 727 or Airbus.
Boeing did try to enliven the mood regarding its sales however:
?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.
Hopefully things will recover for the Chicago located company, or possibly it is time for them to start producing the smaller airplanes that appear to be selling better. - 23159
