The first day of the Paris Air Show ended without an announcement from Boeing or Embraermore De Havilland Canada unveiled a new seaplane, the DHC-6 Twin Otter Classic G, with ten key commands. THE motorists still talked about them.
No real surprise for Boeing on the first day of the International Aeronautics and Space Show (SIAE), after the announcements of postponement of confirmations of orders by two of its main potential customers, Air India (which is, however, expecting its first planes in the coming months) and more recently Riyadh Airways. However, this day without an order from the American aircraft manufacturer remains rare in the context of an air show. However, a new rumor has emerged, which claims thatAkasa Air in India places a new order for 737 MAXafter that relating to 72 737-8 et 737-8-200 unveiled in November 2021.
We will at least have learned from Stan Deal, CEO of Boeing Commercial Aircraft, that a future cargo plane 787-8Fa concept derived from the Dreamliner to replace the 767F, will have ” probably not » the folding wingtips of the 777X family. Boeing, on the other hand, should produce 767F « the longest time possible », and will search for « exemptions » to the European rules which will prohibit deliveries of new aircraft of previous generation from 2028in the name of the fight against emissions.
In the meantime, Boeing has multiplied flight demonstration videos at the Paris Air Show of its latest aircraft, the 777-9 and the 737 MAX 10 :
