Read a Recap and View Photos of the Paris Air Show

The latest issue of Jetrader magazine includes a recap and photos from this year’s International Paris Air Show.

From the article: “The show took place on 14-20 June, where some 141,000 trade visitors trekked in the sweltering summer sun around the Le Bourget chalets, halls and static aircraft display. This year’s event marked the 55th edition of the show since the first “salon de la locomotion aérienne” in 1909 at the Grand Palais in central Paris. Le Bourget became the show’s venue in 1953. In 2025, some 2,400 exhibitors from 48 countries participated, 46% of which were French.

“It was no surprise that “local OEM” Airbus made the most noise again, announcing some 400 orders and commitments during the show. Boeing, which has traditionally played down its participation in the so-called air show “order race,” was intentionally quiet this time amid the Air India 787 tragedy, which had occurred just before Le Bourget. Despite Boeing’s low-key approach, total announcements at the show for commercial aircraft amounted to over 550 orders and commitments.”
