FARNBOROUGH, England: Farnborough Airshow opens on Monday with Boeing and Airbus pursuing aircraft deals and defence firms vying for a share of booming military budgets fuelled by wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Planemakers are expected to announce a string of deals during the week, although industry sources say total orders are likely to fall well short of some analyst forecasts of 800 aircraft or more, reflecting supply-chain constraints that continue to limit production.
