Day one of Paris Air Show 2025 has opened with European juggernaut Airbus announcing the first big aircraft order of the aviation event Le Bourget Airport (LBG).
The order came on June 16, 2025, from Saudi Arabian lessor AviLease who signed a contract with Airbus for 10 A350F freighters and 30 A320neo family aircraft.
This was closely followed by Embraer confirming that Portugal had decided to acquire a sixth KC-390 Millenium aircraft.
There is sure to be more to come as the week unfolds, and AeroTime will be reporting on all the comings and goings over the next few days.
You can see all the important announcements on our Paris Air Show 2025 live blog, where we will post breaking news stories from the epicenter of the aviation world.
AeroTime journalists and editors are on the ground covering the event and attending some of the exciting press conferences where the big announcements are made.
We also have a team working in our newsroom to cover even more content from the air show.
Known locally as Salon International de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace, this is the 55th edition of the revered air show, which is held every two years.
