Boeing booked nearly 150 orders on the July 20 opening day of the Farnborough International Airshow, headlined by lessor SMBC Aviation Capital, which split a major narrowbody deal by ordering 100 Boeing 737 MAX and 100 Airbus A320neo-family jets. Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Air committed to 28 Boeing 787 Dreamliners - converting 20 of its earlier 787-9 orders to the larger 787-10 - plus six Airbus A350-1000s, while Philippine Airlines took up to 20 Boeing 787-10s. The flurry firms up deals the two planemakers had chased for weeks as delivery slots sell out into the 2030s.
