Airbus may have to wait for AirAsia deal
Khaleej Times
|June 19, 2025
The world’s biggest air show looked set on Wednesday for a muted finale after the owner of budget carrier AirAsia, often a source of last-minute dealmaking drama, played down the prospect of expected plane deals with Airbus or Embraer.
-
Delegates were already braced for a low-key Paris Airshow after Boeing struck huge deals during US President Donald Trump’s recent trip to the Middle East. The US company then scaled back its presence at the show to focus on the probe into last week’s deadly crash of an Air India Boeing 787.
But European rival Airbus has been steadily racking up business, and underscored its confidence about the future on Wednesday by holding out the prospect of higher dividends.
Talk was rife in the chalets that Airbus might seal deals with AirAsia for its A321 XLR single-aisle jet and smaller A220 model to put a final gloss on the show.
