Airbus

Not a Spanish company as such, but they do have production sites at Seville and near Madrid (also in France, UK and Germany)

Now something seems to be happening.

First, last week a $9 billion order from Turkish airlines.

Then, earlier today, another $12 billion order from Lufthansa

and, now an even bigger order, $24 billion from Indonesia.

What is going on here?
(I bet the workers in airbus factories feel a bit more secure now)

Perhaps it is because nobody will purchase anything from Boeing until they resolve their burning batteries problem.

You may be right.

Great news for Europe though. Wonder why it’s not hitting the headlines?

Perhaps because it’s just the normal trading average 😕 Has always done quite well. Boeing outsold them last year but most years it has been vice versa.
