Airbus-Boeing Duopoly Resists Narrow-Body Upstarts in Paris

The Airbus SAS-Boeing Co. airliner duopoly survived the Paris Air Show intact as challengers from Canada, China, Brazil and Russia offered little evidence that they’ll break the pair’s stranglehold on single-aisle jets.

Bombardier Inc.’s CSeries won 30 orders from Korean Air Lines Co. and an unnamed carrier before the program took a blow. Qatar Airways Ltd. shelved a deal and Republic Airways Holding Inc. of the U.S. bought Airbus’s rival A320neo, casting doubt on a contract for 40 of the Montreal-based company’s jets.
