Airbus secured more aircraft orders yesterday, raising its total to $21 billion at this week's subdued Paris Air Show, while rival Boeing opted not to announce new sales following last week's Air India 787 crash.

The show is happening at a delicate time for Boeing, which is coming off its best month for sales in a year and a half and a deadly plane crash in India involving one of its aircraft.

At the Paris Air Show on Wednesday, Airbus secured its second A350 freighter deal and Embraer announced the first operator for its regional E190 converted freighter. The post Airbus, Embraer unveil freighter orders at Paris Air Show appeared first on FreightWaves.
