Airbus Secures Broadest Order Portfolio, Boeing Drives Regional Demand for MAX
The 2025 Dubai Airshow closed with Airbus leading in total commitments, driven by Gulf and African carriers. Boeing secured the largest single deal with Emirates’ new widebody purchase, while regional manufacturers like Embraer and De Havilland Canada secured strategic wins. Regional demand for the MAX supported Boeing’s narrowbide momentum, as Airbus expanded its long-term strategy with Etihad Airways.
