ATW On Location: Paris Air Show 2023

Boeing is closely monitoring CFM's RISE engine program, but will balance potential efficiency gains with the relative risk associated with new technologies.

Planned new Saudi Arabian flag carrier Riyadh Air may come to an arrangement with existing Saudi airlines to create or bolster its planned domestic network.

Riyadh Air CEO Tony Douglas has stressed the importance of Boeing meeting its 2025 delivery commitments amid the company’s ongoing supply chain issues.

Boeing anticipates a demand for almost 42,600 new airlines over the next 20 years, a number that is slightly more optimistic than Airbus’ forecast.

The global air transport industry’s commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050 has been called into question, but Boeing believes this goal is still achievable.

Boeing is “seeing elements of recovery” in its supply chain as it moves toward a return of normality and eventual increases in its production rates.

CFM International President and CEO Gael Meheust talks about the futuristic RISE engine project and keeping up with booming demand.

CFM International has completed over 100 tests toward its RISE future engine program, which it is managing in parallel with a ramp-up in Leap engine production.
