The 2016 installment of the Farnborough Air Show was a much tamer affair compared to the order bonanzas of 2014 at Farnborough and 2015 at the Paris Air Show. 607 order commitments and 135 options were placed by airlines and lessors at the 2016 Farnborough Air Show for a total of 742 aircraft. In 2015, there were 1,223 order commitments at the Paris Air Show.
Airbus led all manufacturers with 405 order commitments and options with 208 of those firm orders. Airbus was buoyed by Air Asia's massive $12.6 billion order for 100 A321neo aircraft with options for 100 more. Boeing received 179 order commitments and options with 78 of those firm orders. COMAC received 90 order commitments, all for its ARJ21 regional aircraft. Embraer received 25 order commitments and options while Bombardier only received a total of 3 orders.
Airbus dominated Boeing in the narrow body section with 390 order commitments and options to Boeing's 150. Airbus received 375 order commitments and options for its A320neo family while Boeing received 116 orders for its 737MAX family of aircraft.
In the wide body segment, Boeing received 29 orders and commitments to Airbus' 15 orders. Boeing was boosted by an order for 16 747-8F by Russian freight company Volga Dnepr, which was announced before the air show but was finalized at Farnborough. When the 747-8F order is excluded, Boeing received only 13 wide body orders to Airbus' 15.
