Also government subsidies that make the airplanes ~20-30% cheaper.
Which to be fair Boeing almost has as well, but for Boeing it's mostly military contracts that subsidize the development of new airplanes that then get reused as civilian aircraft.
- gaadd33 3y agoWhat recent Boeing planes were originally developed for the military and reused as civilian aircraft? It seems like recent designs (eg the 787) are developed entirely from the needs of airlines.
- trynumber9 3y agoExcept Boeing's flawed execution turned their normal 'safe' government contracts into a disaster. They claim to have lost $7B on that KC-46 refueler contract already. So they managed to fumble that into a negative subsidy. Boeing looks like a grossly mismanaged company now.
