One of the industry's biggest rivalries will be front and center: Europe's Airbus vs. America's Boeing.
Wall Street expects Boeing (BA) to announce its first deals for the 737 Max 10, the newest member of its single-aisle 737 Max family. United Airlines (UAL) may be first in line, say analysts and industry executives. Boeing is trying to blunt the success of Airbus rival A321neo, which is making its own debut at the show.
The new long-range twin-aisle Airbus (EADSF) A350-1000 and Boeing's 787-10 Dreamliner will also be on display for the first time.
Boeing will also reveal the first major details of its hotly anticipated all-new airliner, expected to become the 797. It isn't expected to be ready until the middle of next decade.
Ascending newcomers from Russia and China will also be on hand to tout progress on new airliners that will challenge Boeing and Airbus.
The Russian state holding United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) will show only models of its civil aircraft lineup.
Brazil's Embraer (ERJ) is bringing its largest commercial airliner yet, the 140-seat E195-E2, to Paris for the first time and Canada's Bombardier (BDRAF) is looking to show off its C Series airliner, which is in a brewing trade spat with Boeing.
Lockheed Martin's F-35A Joint Strike Fighter will be on display at an international air show for the first time. The stealthy fighter jet, the Pentagon's most expensive program, looks to woo more international buyers with a new flying routine over the show's crowds, CNN said.
