Airbus defeats Boeing.

**Papito_Chulo** · 09-27-2003, 06:30 PM

This year will be the first year in history of competition between Airbus and Boeing when Airbus will sell more planes.

It is expected that to the end of 2003 Airbus will produce 315 planes, airlines expect all those planes and they will fly immediately. Boeing's production for 2003 is 285 planes. In according to plans for 2004 the tendence will be the same, Airbus has orders for 304 planes, while Boeing pretends to get to the maximum of 290.

Thinking about extremely popular A320 family and upcoming A380 makes us to predict that soon Airbus will dominate the sky.

Amazing what you can accomplish with a little hard work and 20 years of tax-payer funded subsidies from fifteen countrys, isn't it?

I THINK THAT WHAT IS EVEN MORE AMAZING IS A320 FAMILY OPERATIONAL COST AND 340'S COMFORT, THIS IS BEYOND BOEING'S HORIZONS.

P.S.
Why are you shouting? I can hear you just fine.

they can call it whatever they want, since it's economic factor eclipses everything, passenger accept this plane with open arms, new A340-600 and 500 series promise to be more popular than 777, well, let's call it just a plane. By the way, I think european culture made a good achievement to development of these brilliant planes.

I'm dumbfounded - where is the DR content? Is airbus going to fly over the DR solamente?

Aw, c'mon Chris, this is the Airline Forum! Here they talk about Airbus, Austria Airlines, NE Bolivia airlines, airports in Siberia, Swiss Air joining One World, never-heard-of Colombian airlines, etc etc

DR content is optional!!!
