Of
the $50.2 billion of business signed by Boeing, 145 aircraft
worth $18.6 billion were firm orders, with the balance either
commitments or orders already in the order book from airlines
which had not been identified.
Airbus said it signed firm orders for 124 aircraft worth $16.3
billion and commitments for 297 aircraft worth $40.7 billion at
the show.
Airbus saw off competition from Boeing to win a last-minute
110-plane order from European low-cost carrier Wizz Air,
grabbing the limelight in the final hours of its home show.
