Both major manufacturers have seen orders dry up in the first half of the year.
Boeing isn't about to run out of work with more than 5,500 commercial planes on its backlog worth nearly $400 billion at list prices. However, in the first three months of 2019, the aerospace giant took just 32 new orders for 737 aircraft.
As Paris approaches, media attention will turn to Boeing's progress on fixing the 737 Max plane and when its big selling aircraft can return to the skies. One almighty riposte to the drum beat of bad news would be if the U.S. firm were to announce new orders of the plane.
