FARNBOROUGH, England, July 22 (Reuters) - Airlines have unveiled over 300 plane orders as the Farnborough International Airshow in the United Kingdom nears conclusion, with Boeing BA.N holding a slight lead over European rival Airbus AIR.PA in the race to seal deals, a Reuters tally showed. Below are the key deals so far, with some 327 firm orders, slightly above the last Farnborough show in 2024. But the tally is below lofty hopes for 800 orders, as planemakers continue to grapple with supply-chain constraints and production bottlenecks.
