The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Airbus SE bagged multibillion-dollar plane orders from Saudi Arabia and Poland on the opening day of the Paris Airshow clouded by a separate diplomatic dispute over France's decision to shut down some Israeli stands for displaying deadly weapons. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe says delegates expect this year's iteration of the world's biggest aviation trade show to see less business than usual, partly due to last week's fatal crash of an Air India Boeing 787 and also because Boeing racked up huge deals during U.S. President Donald Trump's recent tour of the Middle East. However, Airbus looks set to close a series of sales on its home turf, and interest in the defence side of the show is high as Europe increases military spending. Tensions flared when the main Israeli participant refused to remove attack weapons from display. France's government said all exhibitors had been told ahead of the show that attack weapons would be prohibited. France's Prime Minister told reporters his government had "very great concern about Gaza." Boeing boss Kelly Ortberg cancelled his trip to Paris as the company focuses on supporting the probe into last week's Air India crash.
