IATA VP: Middle East Jet Orders Resilient Despite Iran War Concerns
BA sits 21% above its 52-week low of $176.77.
Summary
An IATA Vice President stated that Middle Eastern carriers are unlikely to defer jet orders due to the Iran war, despite potential cost increases and regional instability. He emphasized that deferrals would be costly given long waiting times for new aircraft. This outlook is positive for Boeing, as Middle Eastern airlines are major buyers of its jets, suggesting continued demand from a key region. This news reinforces the positive trend seen in recent reports of increased Boeing orders and plans for higher 737 production.
