Airbus dominates at 2023 Paris Air Show

IndiGo places huge 500 aircraft order with Airbus

After 5 days of deals, European aerospace giant Airbus has dominated the order books over US rivals Boeing, by some margin.

It was also going to be a tough ask for Boeing to keep up with Airbus given the record breaking IndiGo deal announced on day one but it wasnt all bad news for them.
