Boeing Orders Up For June

It's a pre-Farnborough order blaze for Boeing totaling 460 net orders. Not detailing the Airbus book of 206 net orders may discourage Farnborough Air Show-goers unless it has held back order announcements until the UK airshow. Boeing will announce more at the airshow. It will be a dogfight for top dog at the ordering booth. The mid-year numbers favor Boeing but an end of 2018 order numbers are yet to come. Boeing's lead having some large MOU's not finalized, will boost the Boeing order book along the way.

Below is a Winging It/Boeing year to date net order synapsis of firmed orders:

  
The Max leads the pack with 347 net orders to date. The widebody group easily outpaces Airbus with Boeing's 141 net ordered. Airbus has only 50 net orders for its widebody this year. The "Airshow" will provide a platform for Airbus to catch-up, but will it? That becomes the question before the big event. Will It?
