The world-famous Paris Air Show will take place next week. The event, which occurs every two years, is known for being the biggest globally in terms of the number of exhibitors and size of the space itself. It also typically attracts hundreds of aircraft orders, from firm commitments to simple Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs). In 2023 the show was unparalleled. It achieved a total of 1,303 aircraft orders, comprising MoUs, Letters of Intent (LOI) and options. Of these, though, a record-breaking 1,160 were firm orders, the highest number Paris has ever reached.

So this prompts us to ask the question: Should the Airbus A220 get a 2nd engine option?
