FARNBOROUGH – Leasing firm SMBC Aviation Capital ordered 200 new medium-sized aircraft from Boeing and Airbus at the start of the landmark Farnborough Air Show on Monday, the companies said.
US plane maker Boeing said it received an SMBC order for 100 of its 737 MAX jets, and its European rival Airbus said the firm ordered another 100 of its popular A320neo jets.
The head of Boeing’s Commercial Airplanes division, Stephanie Pope, said that its order “reflects the strong demand we are seeing for the 737 MAX family’s efficiency, reliability and versatility”.
Airbus quoted SMBC Aviation Capital’s chief executive Peter Barrett as saying the “significant” A320neo order “will give our airline customers access to a continuous delivery pipeline” of the model “into the mid-2030s”.
