So it hasn’t been a great week in Paris for Boeing. The jet maker announced one deal: an order from MCAP for two 737s.
But when the company updated its year-to-date orders tally on its Website this morning, as it does weekly, Boeing received no order cancellations last week.
That’s good news, given the slump that Boeing has been in all year as airlines cut back.
With a 737 biz jet order this week, Boeing’s up to 10 net orders for the year.
Sure, Boeing still lags behind Airbus not only in year-to-date net orders but in orders announced at the Paris Air Show.
But maybe this game of “one step forward, two steps back” finally has ended for Boeing. Maybe Boeing will remain in the positive for the rest of the year? (Am I the only one who finds it a bit crazy that in mid-June the concept of Boeing finishing in the black is up for debate?)
