Private A380

Jul 13, 2007

Battle of the skies

On the 8.07 of this year the new boeing manufactured 787 dreamliner was announced, bringing in the direct competitor of the airbus A380. The competition between Europe and the USA is huge in the airline market. In this case Airbus´ new star the A380 and Boeings passenger friendly 787 series face each other as airlines place orders for the two types. Both types have very different strategies to compete in the fiercely growing aviation industry. Airbus´ plan is to dominate the market with the concept of higher passenger loads by building the worlds largest passenger aircraft (not the largest aircraft if we count the Antonov cargo A-225) shifting larger amounts of passengers at a time. The Boeing 787, on the other hand, is built for comfort and efficiency aiming at the cutting of fuel costs. Which one will dominate the market? What is it the airlines are looking for? How about passengers like you and me?
