I'd be interested to know how many are former Boeing customers. The implication is that people are switching from Boeing to Airbus but it's quite possible a lot of these airlines have always been Airbus customers.

IngiGo are all Airbus and ATR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IndiGo#Fleet

Air India are about 60% Airbus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_India_fleet

Turkish Airlines are about 50/50: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Airlines_fleet#Current...

EasyJet are all Airbus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EasyJet#Fleet

Avalon doesn't have fleet information on Wikipedia (I'm not in the industry and have no idea what a reputable place to go to get this information would be)

Avolon looks majority Airbus: https://www.avolon.aero/our-fleet
Avolon buys what it calculates it can lease out to airlines, it doesn't have a 'preference' itself.
So basically this Airbus order surge probably has little to do with recent Boeing news and the headline is misleading clickbait
