Today marks the start of the Farnborough Airshow, one of the largest trade shows of the years. Expect to see the manufacturers making various announcements on new products, as well as airlines announcing major orders.

I thought I'd start a thread to discuss the latest announcements as they happen.

Anyone planning to go to the airshow on the public days next weekend?

First major order: Starlux of Taiwan will be entering the long haul market, with an order for 12 A350-1000s and five A350-900s

13 A320neo's for Vistara of India, with options on 37 more.

Boeings turn:

Jackson Square Aviation becomes the 100th MAX customer, with an order for 30 737 MAX8s

DHL have ordered 14 777Fs, with options on 7 more.
