Hello!
So, I was thinking of creating a list that will follow all aircraft orders that will occur this year. No matter how big or small, or what type of manufacturer. The purpose for this is to discuss and (possibly) speculate on growing trends, and compare it to previous/future years. And, maybe have a little fun predicting which model maker will make the first model. 2023 was a big year in terms of orders, especially during airshows. So, let's see how this year will go. Happy shopping, airlines~!
