ADS chief executive Paul Everitt and Business Minister Richard Harrington welcomed a boost to the UK economy of around ￡13 billion from aircraft orders and commitments announced at the recent Paris Air Show. The event saw orders, commitments and agreements for more than 1,400 aircraft with a global value of ￡130 billion. The UK's aerospace sector - the largest in Europe - will be one of the biggest beneficiaries. Mr Everitt said: "Aircraft orders announced at the Paris Air Show will be worth ￡13 billion to the UK's aerospace sector. This welcome news represents a real vote of confidence in the industry around the world - and especially in the UK. Manufacturers choose our aerospace industry to deliver components and systems for the most technologically advanced and popular models of commercial aircraft. The 88 companies exhibiting in the UK Pavilion showed the world why the UK aerospace sector continues to be so successful and why it is such an attractive destination for international investment."
