    Attention all future pilots! Let’s shop Airbus

    air travel following its recent first flight, Airbus is reaching out to the next generation of aspiring pilots who may be at the controls of this new innovative aircraft sometime in the future.

    The company’s branded product boutique – called “Let’s shop Airbus” – has launched its new collection of “future pilot” merchandise, which features apparel, accessories and other items geared for youngsters with the dream to fly.

    While they may not be ready for the skies just yet, these aspiring pilots will feel closer to their goal by wearing the blue- and pink-coloured futuristic flight uniform now on sale. Other “future pilot” souvenirs – including a “concept cruzer®” toy aircraft – are available as well.

    These items, and a wide selection of Airbus-branded merchandise representing its entire line of aircraft, will be on sale during the Paris Air Show this week from an on-site Let’s shop Airbus store, co-located with the Airbus hospitality venue in the aircraft static display area. Purchases also can be made from the boutique’s on-line version airbus-shop.com

    Seems that United may have cancelled a few Airbus orders

    Airbus's backlog data for the month shows United Airlines' overall A319 order has reduced by seven, to 71, and its A320 order cut by five, to 112, since the end of May.
