This week, the aviation industry meets for the first time in four years at the traditional Farnborough Airshow, the industry’s most important trade fair. Airlines and manufacturers are struggling to meet the renewed demand for air travel. Numerous large orders are expected to be announced in Farnborough. At the same time, however, aviation is under great pressure to achieve the technologically enormously demanding transformation towards sustainable flying. Airbus boss Guillaume Faury, 54, describes in the SZ interview how he wants to get both problems under control and how complicated he thinks the situation of competitor Boeing is.
