Reaffirmation of orders placed in May 2016 and December 2018, nothing like an air show to pump the PR and inflate the numbers (although to be fair Boeing have plenty of new Max deals it seems so not sure this is necessary)

.@etihad chief exec Tony Douglas doubles down on decision to abandon the A380: "The reality is that anything with more than two engines simply doesn't work, it hasn't done for nearly a generation now." Continues: "It is not even close to being competitive."

"I know nobody in the coming 6-9 months who is ready to buy new aircraft... or even second hand aircraft," says IATA's de Juniac. No-one will buy any new aircraft until the end of the year "at best." Focus is on survival, not expansion or even renewal.
