As the commercial side of the Paris Air show wraps up, there’s only a few dribs and drabs of news to clean up. Let’s look who had a last chance for romance.
Airbus scored a last-minute order with Wizz Air who placed an order for 110 Airbus A321neo aircraft.
Wizz Air Airbus A321neo – Rendering, Airbus
The order for 110 aircraft will be delivered with Airbus’s “Cabin Flex” concept, which reduces the galley size, a rear facing toilet… and a lot more seats. 239 seats to be precise.
Prepare to get comfortable and squashed in – even with Airbus’s famous 18″ seat width.
Meanwhile, in the battle of Airbus vs Boeing can be summed up best in this tweet:
Fictional value battle: This week, Boeing won deals worth $50.2 billion imaginary-dollars to Airbus’s $57 billion imaginary-dollars. #PAS15

There are a lot of Letters of Intent, Memorandums of Understandings to convert into real orders, with prices to negotiate. But its never “bad” publicity to announce orders at one of the largest trade air shows in the world is it?
In many ways, the Wizz Air order was the last of the order for the Paris Air Show 2015 as the show shifts from the trade days to the public days as manufactures show off their latest wares to the public.
However, there are a few stories from Paris 2015 still review, and I’ll be looking at them later today.
