Things are not envisaged that simple. The European Airbus August 28 success defeating old rival Boeing, $ 7,000,000,000, a total of 54 of the total Philippine Airlines aircraft orders. Although the United States lobbied for Boeing, but the large order of $ 7 billion this value from Southeast Asia fell to the hands of the European competitors.
