SINGAPORE — Airbus and Boeing are snapping up fresh orders from Asian airlines at the Singapore Airshow this week, even as concerns over the planemakers’ struggles to ramp up production loom large at the region’s largest aviation expo.
Airbus and Boeing have been plagued by delivery delays due to supply chain turbulence at a time when many global airlines are rushing to bolster their fleets, with some industry players expecting the disruption to last a few more years. Boeing is also facing a series of serious safety and quality control issues following a cabin panel blowout on one of its aircraft last month.
