Boeing pressured to make new desitions

NEW ENTRY!

Boeing under constant pressure to make a new desition
After the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, Paris, Boeing has been under constant pressure by customers for announcing if they were either going to create an all-new airplane that would be launched around 2020 or re-engining the 737 as airbus did.

After airbus achieved more than 500 narrow-body orders, boeing has been telling their customers they are not scared by airbus' achievement, because anyways they saw that coming, but fellow customers are starting to be driven away to Airbus, even American Airlines has been rumored of considering the purchase of Airbus narrow-body aircraft.


As seen here, the new airbus A320 NEO.

While other customers are still loyal and still bought 737 units while the paris air show even if they had the possibility of purchasing the new, more economic A320neo, among this customers we can find MIAT Mongolian Airlines (Having ordered 737 and 767 aircraft) and a few more, while at the wide-body aircraft market, boeing outsold Airbus by many aircraft, while selling a lot of 777s and growing its 747-8s order backlog and while also selling the 767, although many airlines are still considering orders for either the 787 or the A350 (like Air France/KLM which is in this process).
