2024 was a hot year for aircraft orders, especially during airshows like Farnborough and Singapore Airshows! It's further proof that the demand for air travel is still going strong. And it's slowly introducing new players to the market (COMAC, electric aircraft, etc.). So, like last year, let's discuss some trends. Make some predictions. And see which model manufacturer will make the first model. Happy shopping airlines!!
