not announced any Previously Boeing hadnot announced any new sales since late March , shortly after its bestselling jet, the 737 Max, was grounded in the wake of two fatal crashes . Tuesday's sales announcement was made at the Paris Air Show, typically the key event for Boeing and rival Airbus to announce new sales. On the first day of the show, Airbus announced numerous sales for more than 100 jets , while Boeing was left with no sales announcements — only a deal to convert some older passenger jets into freighters. Although the sale of the 787 Dreamliner was undoubtedly good news for Boeing, Airbus continued to top it in sales at the Paris show. Airbus announced that Saudi Arabian Airlines had added 30 new orders for the A320neo, Airbus' rival for the 737 Max.
