Airbus Leads with 142 Orders at Paris Air Show Amid Boeing's Absence

At the 2025 Paris Air Show, Airbus secured 142 firm orders and 103 MOUs, driven by strong demand for the A350 and A320neo families, while Boeing scaled back its presence following the recent Air India crash and did not announce new orders. Embraer also made notable sales, including 60 E175s and military aircraft orders. The show was relatively quiet aside from these deals, with Boeing facing challenges due to recent tragedies and technical issues.

The move, which concealed most of the Israeli displays, drew international attention and criticism, with Israeli officials calling it unprecedented and politically motivated. The organizers stated that the removal of certain equipment was due to instructions from French authorities, and dialogue is ongoing to resolve the situation.

European Space Efforts Aim for Zero Debris and Stronger Space Law

European Space Efforts Aim for Zero Debris and Stronger Space Law

The European Space Agency (ESA) and three European satellite manufacturers, Airbus Defence and Space, OHB and Thales Alenia Space, have announced plans to develop a "Zero Debris Charter" to prevent the creation of new debris, particularly in low Earth orbit. The charter will include "ambitious and meaningful targets to be achieved by 2030" and will be nonbinding, but advocates hope it could be incorporated into future regulations. The goal is that, by 2030, those who agree to abide by the charter will deorbit their satellites at the end of their lives or contract with companies that provide active debris removal services to deorbit them.

The Challenge of Decarbonizing Aviation: Cost and Time Implications

The Challenge of Decarbonizing Aviation: Cost and Time Implications

The aviation industry is under increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) seen as the best hope to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. However, SAF accounts for just 0.1% of all jet fuel and is much more expensive. Critics say airlines are making overly ambitious promises and exaggerating how quickly they can ramp up the use of SAF. The limited supply means that airlines fear the cost will eventually trickle down to passengers in the form of higher ticket prices. Meanwhile, startups are working on electric-powered aircraft, but they won't catch on as quickly as electric vehicles.

Paris Air Show Highlights Future of Sustainable Aviation.

Despite record-setting orders at the 2023 Paris Air Show, stocks of Boeing, Airbus, General Electric, and Raytheon Technologies all dropped by almost 4%. The losses may be attributed to investors buying the rumor and selling the news, as well as labor trouble at Spirit AeroSystems and continuing supply chain challenges. However, demand for commercial aerospace remains strong, making production up and down the value chain the most important issue for investors to follow in the coming months.
