IBA Analysis - <strong>The</strong> Dubai Airshow <strong>The</strong> Dubai Airshow by numbers <strong>The</strong> Dubai Airshow broke records left, right <strong>and</strong> centre with a multitude <strong>of</strong> new orders valued at over $63 billion at list prices . Ben Jacques, commercial manager at <strong>the</strong> International Bureau <strong>of</strong> Aviation (IBA) takes a closer look at <strong>the</strong> numbers <strong>The</strong> 2011 Dubai Air Show was ano<strong>the</strong>r successful show for Airbus, particularly with big orders for <strong>the</strong> A320 current generation <strong>and</strong> A320neo next generation variant, without, however, forgetting <strong>the</strong> A380 orders which will be well received in Toulouse. Boeing also had orders for current <strong>and</strong> next generation aircraft, both 777 <strong>and</strong> 787 variants. Orders for <strong>the</strong> 737 MAX were conspicuous by <strong>the</strong>ir absence, although it is expected that Middle Eastern carriers who are evaluating <strong>the</strong> aircraft at <strong>the</strong> moment may well place an order in <strong>the</strong> next year. Bombardier also had its order book swelled, with a significant order for <strong>the</strong> C-Series 300 from Atlasjet. After <strong>the</strong> recent spate <strong>of</strong> orders from leasing companies, it is noteworthy that on this occasion only Aviation Capital Group had signed on <strong>the</strong> dotted line during Dubai. A quick look at <strong>the</strong>ir portfolio reveals that it could well be with a view <strong>to</strong> replacing <strong>the</strong>ir existing opera<strong>to</strong>rs’ A320s with A320neos during <strong>the</strong> next decade as quite a number <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se carriers will have aircraft older than 15 years during this time. 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 A320NEO firm 14000 12000 10000 8000 6000 4000 2000 0 A320NEO firm <strong>The</strong> IBA is an independent aviation consulting firm based in Lea<strong>the</strong>rhead, UK, with representation worldwide.
