And speaking of safety records, A32* is better than B737* by any metric.
- tallanvor 4y agoI'm not sure it's fair to compare the record of a plane family that's 20 years younger than the 737. The first 737 entered service in 1968 vs 1988 for the A320, and during those 20 years, airplane safety improved significantly. Airbus benefited a lot from Boeing's learnings over that time.
- mrguyorama 4y agoAs long as Boeing keeps flying the same vintage airframe, they are comparable. Boeing could have also built a more modern, safer plane, but they chose not to, which is a defensible position IMO, as the 737 is pretty safe.
