Countries around the world closed their borders to international travelers in response to the Covid-19 outbreak, with some \u2014 such as the U.S. \u2014 only just starting to open back up.<\/p>\n<p>The industry was hit with a collapse in order numbers, but an expected recovery in air travel is seen boosting demand in the near future. Boeing said in September that it expects demand for new airplanes to swell in the next two decades.<\/p>\n<p>As such, industry watchers will be awaiting any additional aircraft orders at the air show from both Airbus and Boeing.<\/p>\n<h2>Climate change<\/h2>\n<p>&quot;Covid has changed a lot of things, but climate change is also having a big impact on how the airlines are ordering moving forward,&quot; Faury said.<\/p>\n<p>There is plenty of focus on the sustainability of air travel at this year&#x27;s event as it comes hot on the heels of the high-profile COP26 climate summit. On Saturday, nearly 200 countries agreed on a deal\u00a0to try to prevent the worst consequences of the climate crisis, following two weeks of talks in Glasgow, Scotland \u2013 but not everyone&#x27;s convinced it was a success.<\/p>\n<p>Faury, however, insisted that COP26 was not a failure. &quot;It was a very important step \u2013 it&#x27;s a milestone,&quot; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Airbus wants to &quot;lead the decarbonization of aviation,&quot; Faury told CNBC. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;At Airbus we strongly believe in hydrogen. That&#x27;s the best way to not put carbon in the air \u2026 It requires a lot of engineering, a lot of work \u2014 that&#x27;s what we&#x27;re doing now.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>In September, Airbus released details of three hydrogen-fueled concept planes which it hopes will enter service by the year 2035. The designs differ in size and style, but all are designed to be zero emission, using hydrogen as their primary source of power. Airbus is showcasing a &quot;mockup&quot; of the concept ZEROe aircraft at this year&#x27;s event.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It&#x27;s not a reality today,&quot; Faury said, but added that the 2035 target was a &quot;credible scenario.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 CNBC&#x27;s Anmar Frangoul contributed to this report<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/11\/14\/airbus-receives-order-for-255-jets-in-first-major-deal-since-covid-outbreak.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury said the deal for the A321neo aircraft was a &quot;very positive signal that we [are starting] to be on the front [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":122930,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
