Biggest-ever airliner order marks first day of Paris Air Show

500 planes for IndiGo that should keep Airbus busy for the next 5 to 7 years, congratulation, Q? why wasn't the order split between Boeing and Airbus like they sometimes do?

And a happy Airbus salesman starts to plan his retirement.

If you ever have the opportunity to go to the Paris Airshow, or think you can arrange the opportunity don't let the chance slip by. It is an amazing airshow.

The 500-plane deal with low-cost Indian carrier IndiGo

Comes a few months after Air India's record deal for 470 aircraft.

That sonic boom effect never gets old.

Officially the airshow is "subsonic" :)

 along with the industry's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint, with French President Emmanuel Macron arriving in a helicopter partly using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Its not hypocrisy, fellow peasants.

Macron flew within the city of Paris in a helicopter partly using sustainable aviation fuel!

@Mark: The LCC carriers generally have a fleet of the same aircraft. With their turnaround times etc it makes everything a lot easier.
