SINGAPORE: Airbus SE has taken orders for more than 350 planes in Asia since August, streaks ahead of rival Boeing Co. as the U.S. planemaker struggles to revive its grounded 737 Max.
A big win for Airbus came last month, when Indian budget carrier IndiGo ordered 300 narrow-body aircraft in a deal worth more than $33 billion at list prices. VietJet Aviation JSC and Cebu Air Inc. also confirmed purchases in recent days. Boeing received orders or commitments for only 16 jets in the past three months, according to the Chicago-based company’s website.
