Why ISN’T Airbus Attacking Boeing!?

This isn't about winning and/or losing! It's about building a product with the highest quality and the fairest prize! For both Airbus and it's customers. The situation Boeing is in right now is more or less self-inflicted! They simply stopped developing new products and pushed the old 747 series to the newest standards. That's what I personally think is/has happened!

God forbid that airlines begin buying Chinese aircraft.

I think airbus knew much much earlier than we realised. The Bombardier's and Embraer's regional jet take over was one of the clue. Imagine if Bombardier, Embraer and Mitsubishi jets are still promising till this day.

Airbus and Boieng should make a joint venture !!! The french are so creative that nobody has a chance against their engineering capabilities. Why are Americans and French always fighting while they should hold together ! America has to stop stealing French technology and trust them for developing the best civilian and military aircrafts, and pay the price for it. So with technology exchanges Boieng would benefit so much from it. America will create jobs, and both will win. America looses billions in developing bad civilian and military airplanes. The French Rafale is the only military aircraft that can defeat any other aircraft. The French make those amazing CAESAR canons. Why not buying from the French, and they will also buy American products. America has many other amazing qualities for building this or that type of products that Europe doesn’t produce and relies heavily on America. Brands like Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, Tesla, Space X, Bradley’s, Himars, etc, are unique and no one in the world has similar companies.

I heard it's because Airbus alsow sometimes lose a tire and that they dont want to get sucked in the bad pr from boeing. 😅

Why don't folk on go on about boeing cooking themselves and airbus is to be quiet.Ffs get a grip and like he said its all about the components supplies and airlines want there aircraft NOW but due to supply issues for both airbus and boeing and both have final assembly safety issues and boeing need to up there game.

When you play b*tch karma comes back at you. Should Boeing go under and file for bankruptcy so be it. But it would mean that China would be the second choice for contending in global bids. Not sure Airbus wants that.

I guess Airbus is just fine. Wir sind hier nicht in Seattle, Dirk!

Honestly "4 engines 4 long haul" seem to me only like a stylistic device and not like anything connected to safety.

I guess Flight 232 scared Boeing into making the Triple 7 into a twin engine plane

I don’t see the problem with the extra fuel tank in the A321xlr. Most aircraft have a large centre tank which is below the fuselage and just as susceptible to a belly landing. The A320LR has a module in the fuselage used as a fuel tank as well.

If it's a Boeing, I ain't going. Honestly I'm serious, I will never book a flight with an airline that use Boeing these days.

Competing for safety? That seems like a brilliant engineering challenge. One that the nuclear power industry does already. It isnt about meeting minimums but rather collectively pushing for greater safety. Imagine if you find a safer way to run a reactor/plane and then encourage the rest to follow suit.

Competing and holding each other to higher and higher standards allows an industry to be the safest it can be.

If the goal is not to be last, then being second to last is just ok. But if the goal is being first, you don’t want to settle for second. You want to be the safest in your industry.

the real answer is boeing crushes upstart companies that try to enter the market using all of the politicians it has in it's pocket. it's the same as when boeing crushed the canadian aircraft manufacturer. their greed was a huge windfall for airbus, airbus got to buy bombardier's airframe rights for like 1 dollar. since then the new bombardier airframe has been a big seller for airbus. in fact one of the reasons boeing had to rush their stupid max planes was because they were losing sales to airbus selling those bombardier frames.

airbus is sitting there not punching boeing because they know that boeing will punch themselves in the face far far harder with their anti competitive practices. airbus is big enough now to weather any attempts boeing tries to use on them, but they know that boeing is failing and their only option is to crush competition. with no competition they won't innovate and airbus can dominate the market eventually. boeing is unwittingly airbus' executioner backed by the american government.

airbus hasn't been able to make that craft profitable yet because boeing pulled the whole max debacle. they stole hundreds of orders from airbus with a faulty design, which ended up costing lives, which in any reasonable country would see all the ceos of boeing in prison and all of those planes permanently grounded. which would have meant that every airline would have had to buy airbus' planes. but instead we have corrupt american polticians rolling the dice with people's lives.

Obvious answer: Airbus is not attacking Boeing because it is a duopoly and if Airbus kills Boeing this will become a monopoly and Airrbus would then be accused of being monopolistic. Better to keep Boeing on life support. Same as Intel did with AMD in the past

I suspect that they think if they were to attack their opponents, then Boeing would attack them and the issue we’re talking about is a really sensitive issue.

If airline companies are criticizing each other for safety, people in general be too freaked out to ever fly.

Imagine the effect that will have on the world.

If its Boeing, I AIN'T going!

Boeing’s self destruction is not even good for Airbus. Things seem so bad at Boeing that I imagine Airbus executives are worried more than anything. Trust in aviation safety is the lifeblood of the industry. Hopefully this can maybe perhaps push Embraer to move into the A320/737 market?

People need to understand that competition is a good thing, if Boeing collapses and Airbus is left with 0 competition, then they are also left with 0 motivation and 0 reason to advance their aircraft

I think that they should compete on safety...stands to reason

You can say whatever you want, but if i can, i don't fly boeing.

maybe here lyes the problem.

No need. Boeing will crash all by it selves... Boeing are not a serious company any more..

boeing is a yoke

People keep focusing on the MD merger rather than Boeing not adopting fly by wire....due to pilot reluctance...also common cockpit layouts and controls made Airbus the right choice for the future...pilots are plane drivers after all

Because they’re in the middle of hydraulic failures and the Pratt & Whitney engine recall. They ain’t exactly doing too hot either, the news just likes to rip into Boeing over everything.

Im a nervous flyer

'If it's boeing, we're all dying'

For decades, Boeing's main marketing slogan was about spreading fear about competitors' safety: "It it's not Boeing, I'm not going." The BS that the slogan could be about comfort is just that, disingenuous BS. Fear is what made the slogan effective. It's bizarre that this seldom gets called out and that Airbus got so much criticism for comparatively trivial offenses when Boeing was still using this slogan.

Only americans do things like that.

Boeing planes have been involved in incidents that Boeing got wrongfully blamed for, such as engine issues and wheels falling off old planes. If these happen on an Airbus, and this has happened, then the public would look at something else like airline maintainence, Pratt & Whitney, or Rolls Royce. If Airbus approves the “this never happens on an Airbus” message or takes advantage of this double standard, that’s Airbus’s slippery slope to breaking the public’s trust like Boeing.

Widebody extended range ocean proof Embraer, let's go! 😆

Really Airbus! Just announce the start of the new A350 2000. Then a week later officially announce an A350neo. Thats all. No need to manufacture a thing. Just announcing is enough to get Boeing to cut more corners, speed up production, engineer the NMA , and quicken their bankruptcy. Cleared to soar Airbus... Remember, Boeing would have destroyed you. They tried along with the blessings of the FAA. But failed, too many incompetent clowns and monkeys .

Airbus should wait till Boeings stock drops then swoop in, buy the whole thing and use the Boeing facilities to manufacture Airbus jets.

Airboeing?

Yeah, right, Airbus.

I can't believe they thought anyone would believe their obvious lies.

Your usual Boeing bias? 😉

because you never interrupt an opponent when they are making mistakes and boeing is busy shooting themselves in the face.

The problem is creating a vacuum for the Chinese to fill

You brought back memories of flying from Sydney to Bogota in 2005 on an Aerolineas Argentinas A340. After a stop in Auckland we flew over Antarctica to Buenos Aires before another six hours to Bogota over the Andes. The old 340 had parts of the wings that were clearly replaced because they weren't painted but I felt perfectly safe. The only time I felt a bit concerned on a jet was flying from Nukualofa in Tonga in the late 1980s, we were supposed to leave on Thursday and left the next Tuesday when the Tongan airline 73 had issues between Apia and Nukualofa and had to go back so they got a very old 73 on loan from Ansett in New Zealand. On take-off it sounded ready to fall apart, extremely creaky. We got to Auckland fine, the biggest problem was I got food poisoning from what I was fed in "first class". Auckland to Sydney was with Qantas and I'm sure you can understand I was happy to get home. Before leaving Nukualofa waiting for the Ansett 73 a pilot from a regional airline there said something I will never forget, "I hope you are a Christian, if you are pray".

No need to pile on Boeing by Airbus and come off looking bad, just sit back and watch as your only real competitor self immolates! There are many airlines that have and continue to have orders for the 737-Max, but if these airlines could have a mulligan I bet many would switch their orders to A-320 or A-321. One of the main reasons they still have orders for the 737-Max is because of the long lead times -- if Boeing were removed from contention the wait times for Airbus would likely extend by decades and airlines can't wait that long.

It's such an American thing to do to hit the opponent while he's already down. That's why airbus is not hitting boeing with anything

At minute 14.00 of the video, they talk about 2 or 4 engines on long routes that fly over the sea. Now, let's suppose - absurdly - that both the operating cost and the environmental cost of the four-engine plane are the same as the twin-engine plane, what would be the choice? In other words, in the event of an engine failure, with hours still to fly over the sea, who would choose to be on a three-engine plane and who would choose the single-engine plane?
