The Farnborough Airshow, one of the world's most prominent aerospace events, kicked off on Monday, with industry giants Boeing and Airbus vying for attention and business amid a surge in demand for commercial aircraft.
The five-day event, held at Farnborough Airport in southwest England, is expected to draw around 75,000 visitors and 1,200 exhibitors. As the biennial show rivals Dubai and Paris airshows in significance, it provides a critical platform for companies to showcase their latest defense hardware and eco-friendly aircraft.
The highly anticipated face-off between Boeing and Airbus will be a central feature of the airshow, as the two companies compete for massive jet orders. However, both companies are currently focused on addressing production issues to meet the record demand, with nearly 15,000 aircraft orders awaiting fulfillment - an 18% increase from last year.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) warns that global air travel is expected to triple by 2050, potentially resulting in a significant increase in carbon dioxide emissions if no technological advancements are made. The looming environmental challenge casts a shadow over the airshow, particularly in light of the record-breaking heatwave during last year's event.
Despite this, Boeing and Airbus will continue to compete fiercely for airline orders. Boeing has faced numerous crises in recent years, including two fatal crashes of its best-selling 737 Max in 2018 and 2019, resulting in 346 deaths. The company recently pleaded guilty to criminal charges related to the crashes and has been working to revamp its image.
A strong order book at the Farnborough Airshow could be crucial in helping Boeing revive its turnaround efforts.
