The CEO of Airbus, Guillaume Faury, admitted on Wednesday a potential defeat in the annual race for orders against Boeing this year, saying it is possible that Boeing will win for the first time in 6 years, supported by settlements related to U.S. tariff disputes. Faury pointed out that the company received assistance from the U.S. president as part of tariff negotiations with several countries, where aircraft orders have become part of trade dispute resolutions. In an interview with France Inter radio, Faury confirmed that Airbus still leads its American competitor in delivery operations and pending orders.
