After $55 Billion Dead Heat, Airbus and Boeing Chase More Deals
Boeing Co. and Airbus SE battled to a stalemate as the Farnborough air show kicked off Monday, tallying more than $55 billion in jetliner sales. Boeing was close behind, with about $26 billion in deals at the U.K. expo, including confirmation of an $8.8 billion order from India’s Jet Airways. Business was dominated more than ever by the latest version of the workhorse A320 and Boeing’s rival 737 narrow-body jet, which together have generated more than $1.2 trillion in sales.
