Incidents that are over five years old have minimal impact in terms of current competition between Boing and Airbus.
The airbus A320 family is associated with 1,490 fatalities, there’s just a vast number of flights daily so tiny risks add up. Companies buying new aircraft care far more about maintenance to fuel efficiency than a few rare incidents due to already corrected issues.

The A380 has never had a single fatality or even injuries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A380#Accidents_and_incidents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A380#Accidents_and_inci... > Incidents are over five years old have minimal impact in terms of current competition between Boing and Airbus.

- harmmonica 5mo agoCan you shed a bit more light on this? I can't find any evidence that there are that many fatalities related to that plane, at least related to its operations in flight. Seems like there are few or if my quick look shows even zero fatalities related to it flying. You wrote "associated" but can you define what you mean by that? During manufacturing, maintenance and other non-flight-related incidents?
- Retric 5mo agoThat was a mistake on my part those are A320 numbers not A380.
- harmmonica 5mo agoAh, gotcha. Probably not supposed to reply with this, but applaud your quick correction!
- dorfsmay 5mo agoA380? Did you mean A320?
- Retric 5mo agoYes, corrected remembered the fatalities but should have looked it up anyway.
