Why airbus is better than boeing

So when it comes to uncertain orders, for example, comparisons are quite difficult. We know that in terms of their order books, Airbus is doing much better than Boeing. Airbus has to increase the number of assembly lines that can handle these longer jets. And do it quickly. Airbus also has a very successful new jet in the A However, they need to do this carefully, as demand for this efficient jet is as high as ever. But while these issues are a headache for Airbus, they really are doing better than Boeing, and its own headaches.

Assuming China and Russia? As new orders go, Boeing may be doing better than Airbus lately but there are some clouds on the horizon. We saw that Jet2 recently ordered As, to replace its s and older s. Condor went to Airbus for new Aneos, to replace s and s. Airbus seem to be doing better than Boeing, plus they are negotiating a deal for jets with Wizz Air.

Boeings still sell. But their finances will determine how they might proceed with future projects, like the BFX X freighter. This could soon become an urgent matter, because of a military tanker contract , as we saw. If its finances are doing better, Airbus will also accelerate work on the AF , to unseat Boeing in the freighter world. Compared to Airbus, Boeing is down.

True fact! We could start bringing out facts and figures, comparing fuel burn, speed, handling, capabilities Airbus has had fly-by-wire longer, but Boeing has been around longer. The has more powerful engines, but the A has twice as many.

The A variants generally have a better range than their counterparts, but the beats the A on MTOW. The A has greater max thrust than the and its range is better, but the is considered one of the most fuel-efficient aircraft on the market and is cheaper than the A Boeing offers airplanes with some amazing features, Airbus does too.

The End! But actually For many of you who are considering moving into airlines once opportunities arise, this question might be on your mind. And there is a valid question to be asked there: not because one is better than the other, but because the airlines who operate them - and the career progression it will offer you - might vary. If you are in a position of having to buy a type-rating, then the consideration might be even more pertinent.

European airlines seem to still favour the Airbus range, but only by a small margin: both the A family and the family are common across Europe. Of course, so are ATRs, Embraers and various other types. Advertiser Disclosure. Howard Slutsken. But what does a professional, highly experienced pilot think of the planes? But there is a major limitation to the Airbus side-sticks, according to Kay.
