AIRBUS BAGS ORDERS FOR 363 PLANES AT PARIS SHOW

AIRBUS BAGS ORDERS FOR 363 PLANES AT PARIS SHOW

European aircraft manufacturer Airbus received orders for 363 commercial aircraft, comprising 149 firm orders and 214 commitments, at the Paris Air Show this week.

During the three-day event, airlines and lessors also converted 352 existing Airbus orders – mostly from the A320 single-aisle aircraft to the larger A321neo and to the new A321XLR, reflecting the company's success in the longer-range aircraft segment.
Moreover, Airbus won orders for 85 A220, and for the wide-body A330neo, it received 24 orders and commitments, according to the company's report yesterday.
 The star of the show was clearly the new A321XLR – the next evolutionary step from the A321LR. 
The XLR is world’s most efficient and longest-range single-aisle aircraft, which will enable operators in this segment to access markets requiring even more range and payload.
 Overall, this newest model won orders for 48 aircraft, commitments for a further 79 and 99 conversions from A321 to XLR.
