Boeing boss Dave Calhoun announced on Monday that he would leave at the end of the year. Airbus is already operating just in time and would not be able to ramp up in the short term in the event of new orders.

If Boeing's problems persist and Airbus cannot recover all the orders, this could favor the arrival, in certain markets, of the Chinese competitor, COMAC with its C919. So far, Safran is doing well since it also supplies half of the engines for the Airbus A320.
