"Highlights from the 2023 Paris Air Show: Record-breaking orders, innovation, and sustainability"

The Paris Air Show has returned after a four-year hiatus, with Airbus signing a record-breaking deal with Indian carrier IndiGo for a firm order of 500 A320 family aircraft, the biggest single aircraft purchase in the history of commercial aviation. Boeing had a quieter day, with no orders announced. The show features a strong presence from eVTOL makers racing to be the first "flying taxi" company to market, as well as hopeful supersonic airplane designers, electric and hydrogen engines, and sustainable aviation fuel providers looking to help transition the industry to a greener future.
