In the skies, Airbus will showcase its single-aisle Xtra Long Range aircraft, a game-changer in long-distance travel. The A330neo will also take to the air, demonstrating its capabilities and versatility, further solidifying Airbus’s position as an industry innovator.
Boeing’s Strategic Pivot
Meanwhile, Boeing’s presence at the airshow reflects a strategic pivot amidst recent challenges. Opting not to display the boeing 777x series and 737 MAX 10 amid ongoing scrutiny and operational setbacks, Boeing will instead showcase resilience and innovation through other avenues.
A Qatar Airways Boeing 787-9 and a Royal Air Force (RAF) P-8 Poseidon will be featured, highlighting Boeing’s diverse portfolio and commitment to excellence in aerospace technology.
Despite this, Boeing remains a key player in the aviation landscape, leveraging partnerships and customer trust to navigate current challenges while reaffirming its technological leadership.
Embraer’s Debut and Defense Excellence
Embraer, renowned for its regional jets and defense aircraft, will debut the E190F at Farnborough. This E-Jet cargo conversion marks a significant milestone, underscoring Embraer’s responsiveness to market demands and innovation in air cargo solutions.
In the defense sector, Embraer will showcase the C-390 Millennium, a versatile tactical transport aircraft, alongside the A-29 Super Tucano, celebrated for its performance in various military roles. Both aircraft will participate in flight displays, demonstrating their operational capabilities and reinforcing Embraer’s reputation for excellence in defense aviation.

No More Jet Airways. Supreme Court Says “No Choice”, Orders Liquidation
Jet Airways was once one of India’s leading airlines, known for its service and extensive network. Founded in 1993, it served millions of passengers, connecting cities across India and international destinations.
However, since grounding its flights in April 2019, Jet Airways has struggled to navigate financial turbulence, leading to years of efforts to revive the airline and return it to the skies.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court ordered the liquidation of Jet Airways, citing “no choice” but to take this decisive step after the resolution plan failed to meet creditor obligations. The court invoked its extraordinary powers under Article 142, which allows it to make orders for “complete justice” in any case, overriding previous tribunal rulings.

The Jalan-Kalrock Consortium (JKC), which had won the bid to revive Jet, faced criticism for not fulfilling payment commitments to creditors, which included major banks like the State Bank of India and Punjab National Bank.
The Supreme Court’s ruling pointed to “peculiar and alarming” issues surrounding the resolution plan’s implementation, leading to its conclusion that liquidation was the only feasible outcome.

Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, alongside Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, emphasized that while liquidation should be a last resort, it was necessary as the resolution plan was “no longer capable of implementation.”
In line with this decision, the court ordered that the ₹200 crore already infused by JKC be forfeited and directed the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) in Mumbai to appoint a liquidator to oversee the process.
JKC, a partnership between Murari Jalan, a UAE-based Indian entrepreneur, and Florian Fritsch, a Jet shareholder through Kalrock Capital Partners Limited, had taken ownership of Jet Airways two years after it was grounded. The consortium’s inability to fulfill its financial obligations has now led to this final verdict, marking the end of an era for Jet Airways in India.
