The 2022 Farnborough Airshow was definitely a weird one. The world was just emerging from the pandemic, and there was a lot of uncertainty about where the aviation industry was headed.

But the 2024 Farnborough Airshow was a completely different story. Just two years later, it feels like we're living in boom times; the orders have never been bigger and the stakes have never been higher.

But...who actually came out of this year's airshow happy? Who came out a winner, and who came out a loser? Let me explain...

you should've included the a330neo in the winners category as it gained many orders

[AutoclaveMachine]

The main reason the e2 is not selling well is that the scope clause in the us prevents airlines from adding them to regional subsidiaries, in the rest of the world the a220 offers better passenger comfort and it’s wider and can be converted into a high density layout. The a220 has already proved itself and it would be cheaper to implement them instead of the E2 because multiple airlines already have similar planes and it would share more fleet commonality with other bombardier planes . So the a220 just fits more markets than the E2

[ivanviera]

A330 Neo did pretty good 42 firm orders Viejet, Virgin Atlantic and Flynas.

Airbus is a largest beneficiary of this ginormous and flashy air show. Many orders have been firmly added to their backlog of aircrafts which further boosts its operation.

[AJR-]

How were the A330NEOs and A320NEOs not winners? Both won so many orders, with the A330NEO getting the same amount of orders as the 787 and the A320NEO getting more than 100 orders.

[arthuralford]

It's not that taking the 777 and 737 Maxes out of testing would slow down the process-it's that by doing so the perception would be that Boeing thinks PR is more important than fixing the perception that they put marketing over safety. Airlines have seen both planes, and not having them at Farnborough wasn't a great loss

Airbus in general was very much a winner, their orders for 81 A320 family aircraft is impressive and 22 new A330neo orders helps to keep production of this underrated aircraft going whilst giving more airlines time to appreciate its flexibility and eventually start replacing their A330ceo with it.

[GustavoOliveira-hqdr]

Embraer has made some interesting announcements one of them is the E2TS (Embraer Enhanced Takeoff System) which allows the E2 to takeoff from shorter runways and also increases its range and they also increased its MTOW. It will only be available on Q4 2025 though.
At the same time Embraer's evtol arm EVE unveiled their prototype.

The A330neo was 100% a winner of this show

I’m sure airlines are fully aware of the on time performance of the E190’s. As a ramp agent, I can assure you that the E190 can be a nightmare to load due to its sensitivity to weight distribution and the amount of netting required. Especially when at least 6 of the 8 sections of the forward and aft holds need to be loaded. I very much prefer to load and unload the A220, as it is a much more forgiving aircraft to load.

British Airways ordered GE engines for 6 787-10, Rolls Royce is a huge looser since BA is probably their most important customer.

Hi Coby! It was a pleasure to meet you in person at Farnborough 2024 on board the Airbus A350 Air India and have a chat with you. Im a huge fun of your videos and love the way you explain the things 🙂

[arjunareidpeirson]

4:20 you said korean air order those 20 787-9 but its actually 777-9 as you show on screen

[oadka]

I was so happy to see the Air India A350 there, working on fixing the brand image.

[jpazinho]

I just cannot understand how Boeing can be a winner of the show when:
1) Airbus outperformed Boeing on total orders;
2) Airbus secured the biggest order of the show;
3) The a320 orders outperformed the number of orders for 737 jets by nearly 5x;
4) It is true the a350 lost to the 777x...thanks to a deal that had already been agreed prior to the show, and tentative / option orders;
5) same applies to the 787..if it wasn't for the Korean Air order...we would've seem the same numbers of 787 and a330neo ordered - a victory for airbus and what it should be a massive wake up call for Boeing...two planes that are almost the same, with the caveat that Boeing is massively discounting the 787...
6) Farnborough airshow has reinforced an important aspect - JALs (who used to be one of Boeing's most loyal costumer) move toward the a350...

With this wrap up from Farnborough (by the way...the worst Farnborough in recent years) I cannot see why Boeing makes the winners list...

[siridevx]

A330-900NEO did really well, once again, another great video, hope I can go next time!

[LPMx]

1:03 He pronounced Farnborough correctly! There aren't many who know how to say it, nice one Coby.

[danharold]

If Boeing had brought the planes it would have also been criticized. Continuing with certification was the right choice and sends the right message.

[realFriedrichHayek]

Something that was impressive to see, was the growth of the space zone at Farnborough - an interesting development since 2022
