Airbus at 50
Such is the pace of product development that two Airbus models that had not yet flown when the Paris Air Show was last held in June 2017 are making their debut this year and are already in the hands of their first customers. An A321LR operated by French all-business airline La Compagnie (pictured) will be on display, while the A330neo will be flying daily. The A330-900 entered service with TAP Air Portugal in December and certification of the A330-800 is imminent. The A380 will make a bitterweet appearance, as part of the Airbus flying display on public days, at its last Paris before production ends in 2021.Photo:

The 53rd Paris Air Show at Le Bourget from June 17-23 will showcase the now-traditional mix of the big and small, conventional and unconventional, French and not French. Aircraft making their international debuts will range from the Boeing KC-46A tanker to a host of smaller electric-powered aircraft, from Airbus’ single-seat Vahana to Eviation’s nine-seat Alice. Here are some of the aircraft to look out for.
