Airlines order at Paris Airshow

The past week was a successful one for commercial aircraft sales. Airlines and leasing companies placed orders for 1,223 aircraft, amounting to $69 billion at list prices at the Paris Airshow. It’s important to note that many of these aircraft may not be delivered and that the actual prices paid were likely lower than the list prices. Nevertheless, it’s still a significant development.

Airbus and Boeing have filled their production schedules for the next eight to 10 years. The current low oil prices enable airlines to generate profits, leading carriers and leasing companies to be eager to make purchases. Both manufacturers have experienced three consecutive years of record-breaking orders. This starkly contrasts the business jet market, where backlogs continue to decline. Commercial aircraft manufacturers are ramping up production, while the delivery of business jets is expected to decrease this year rather than the next. Despite Bombardier not announcing significant orders for the C-Series, there is hope for such orders.

Chasing business jets – a guide for business jet spotters

Business jets do not just give pleasure to the people that fly in them. Many people get a buzz just from seeing one. Others take this passion more seriously. Thousands of amateur aviation photographers (many as good as professionals) and planespotters are looking to track down business jets.

While most photographers just collect images, planespotters collect aircraft registrations or manufacturers’ serial numbers (MSNs) by seeing the aircraft. (You can usually work out the MSN from the aircraft registration, although this is hard in some countries.)

Aviation photographers are spread throughout the world. The US and Japan , in particular, seem to have many good ones (Japan also deserves credit for encouraging enthusiasts; every airport has at least one viewing platform). Although planespotters exist in every country, they are most popular in the Netherlands, Germany , and the UK. No one knows precisely how many planespotters are in each country but specialist magazines and books are serving the community.

A superyacht built and decorated to their precise specifications remains an enduringly popular indulgence among the world’s richest, and the unparalleled degree of personalization they can avail of means their purchases can vary drastically from one another. The Monaco 2050 proposal (so-called because he expects it to set a new industry standard within the next 35 years) considers what billionaires will desire next, now that yachts with helipads and helicopters are becoming something of a superyacht standard. In their place, envision a boat that will also serve as a launch pad for charter private jets that can take off vertically.
