It’s all great news for the biggest plane manufacturers in the world who gather this week for the Paris Air show to sell their wares. On top of that the war in Ukraine has led to a surge in demand for military aircraft. Theo Leggett, BBC Business correspondent is at the Le Bourget for the Paris Air show and joined Joe Lynam on the show.
