"This is ahistorical." The A380 is from 2007, the A319neo is from 2016. So not the turning point. 2007 is the point in time when Boeing thought they had won, not 2016. From that point on it went down, with Boeing hybris. If you look at the sentiment from the times, "Battle for the future of the skies: Boeing 787 Dreamliner v Airbus A380", Guardian 2013 or " The market for big planes has fragmented and there is simply not enough demand for jets the size of the 747 or bigger to justify the huge development costs of an all-new jet such as the A380, according to the Boeing view. So it has bet its future on a midsize jet, the 787 Dreamliner. [...] Now, critics say Airbus made the wrong bet on the A380."
