Airbus SE has been sounding out customers appetite for a longer version of its A220-300 jet that would give airlines more seating capacity but at the expense of range.

Taiwan’s Starlux Airlines Co. is nearing an order for almost a dozen Airbus SE widebody jets in a deal worth around $4 billion as it seeks to cement its push into long haul services, according to people familiar with the matter.

Airbus SE landed an order for as many as 77 aircraft from Saudi Arabian lessor Avilease, kicking off dealmaking at the Paris Air Show.

French officials blocked off the exhibits of several Israeli weapons makers at the Paris Air Show on Monday, leading to protests and finger pointing over who was to blame.

The politics of aircraft sales were on full display last month when President Donald Trump, touring the Middle East, helped bring home the biggest widebody order in Boeing Co.’s history.

El peso de la política en el mercado de aviones quedó al descubierto el mes pasado cuando el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, en su gira por Medio Oriente, ayudó a cerrar el mayor pedido de aviones de fuselaje ancho de la historia de Boeing Co.

Airbus SE said the governments of France and Spain agreed to fast-track some deliveries of the slow-selling A400M military transport aircraft as the main nations supporting the program seek to keep production going.

Airbus SE maintained its momentum on the second day of the Paris Air Show, locking in an order from Vietjet for 100 A321 narrowbody jets.

Riyadh Air plans to add a new destination every two months once it starts service, as the carrier prepares to begin taking delivery of its Boeing Co. 787s.

Airbus SE wrapped up the Paris Air Show with more orders for its advanced A350 model, making a clean sweep at the event after perennial rival Boeing Co. chose to postpone any announcements following a fatal crash a few days before the expo.
