Airbus secures deals with Japan Airlines and Virgin Atlantic at Farnborough Airshow, while Qatar Airways considers a large order.

Airbus secures significant deals with Japan Airlines and Virgin Atlantic at the Farnborough Airshow, despite supply chain challenges and concerns about the post-pandemic travel boom. Japan Airlines finalises an order for 20 A350-900 and 11 A321neo jets, worth $3bn, and Virgin Atlantic commits to seven A330-900s. Qatar Airways is considering a "sizeable" order for wide-body jets in the coming months.
