Airbus seems to be winning hard with their A320 line and especially the new XLR.
Arguably travelling in bigger planes will become less attractive as people find out that the virus will probably never quite go away and point to point flights in single aisle planes become more of the norm.
Meanwhile Boeing hasn't even decided what they will build next and in any case it will take 6-10 years to deliver the first plane. That's a long head start Airbus has.
- duxup 6y agoThe article says they cancelled their airbus orders... As far as the 737 max cancellation: >in favor of the 737NG series.
- rob74 6y agoThe article also says that they're under bankruptcy administration, so these decisions shouldn't be seen as a vote on the safety of a particular type, they're simply trying to cut their losses. For the routes they are still serving, using a single type of aircraft (the 737 NG) is the most cost-effective.
- duxup 6y agoWell that's my point. The person I was responding to seemed to think this has something to do with Aribus and Boeing.
- dkjaudyeqooe 6y agoYou assumed that. I was making an aside not directly responding directly to the article, but I thought that was obvious.
