Middle East unrest may cost Airbus 60 orders
The unrest in the Middle East and North Africa may cost Airbus as many as 60 orders this year, as airlines in the region delay acquisitions and offset deliveries to deal with the effect of the crisis. Airbus President Middle East, Habib Fekih, estimated that the manufacturer will take 90-100 orders in the region this year, as opposed to the 150 orders it had expected.
