Consumers preferring point-to-point air travel killed the A380.
- dingaling 8y agoWhich is ironic as the self-proclaimed 'King of point to point', the 787, mainly flies between or from hubs. It's the smaller and more mundane 737 Max and A320 Neo that are following the lead of the old 757 as hub-bypassers. I also note that no reference was made to the fact that Boeing has broken-up two early, unsaleable, 787s and took a $1.25 billion charge for doing so. Billion.
- sitepodmatt 8y agoUnless list for a 787 is 600m and there no salvagable parts these figures see way wrong
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoI'm guessing, but they're probably unsellable because they're pre-production testbeds. Those will cost much more than a production plane. It also tells you exactly nothing about the market for 787s...
- lostlogin 8y agoIsn’t it in Boeing’s interest to have that figure as high as possible for tax reasons?
- walrus01 8y agoThe very early 787 production after those two units were sold to Ethiopian at a significant discount. They are far overweight and were plagued with a series of defects requiring warranty service.
