Paris Airshow

The Air France Airbus crash and the strained economy have cast a pall over the hundredth annual Paris Airshow, but in the meantime, Boeing sold a couple of 737s to Mitsubishi’s MC Aviation. As Airbus has missed deadlines on an order of 180 planes and has a backlog of 3500 planes and 21 cancellations, Boeing may be in line for more orders. The Air Show closes Sunday.
