Will Boeing be able to make up for its lost time on Airbus ?

Are you smoking crack ? AIRBUS is 10 years ( order wise ) behind Boeing - they have Capitulated the whole middle market to Boeing - this has re-energized Boeing - there is no stopping the Giant now that it has awoke. Even the 747s are flying off the shelves. Read the story about the DC-10 vs the L1011 - this is what has happened to AIRBUS - in this business - it is who grabs the market share - there will not be enough market share for AIRBUS to recover - it will be another public works program for Europeans based on subsidy,..Will Boeing be able to make up for its lost time on Airbus ?
Airbus is the company behind on production schedules.





Boeing has capture many of the carriers that were waiting for the A380.





Yes, Boeing has benefitted greatly from the problems at Airbus.Will Boeing be able to make up for its lost time on Airbus ?
There will most likely still be two major western aviation companies in 20 years time. Boeing had some hard years recently, consistently losing to Airbus, right now they are making the most of the issues at Airbus.





I'd say Boeing are ahead, at least in the media campaign, right now and will remain so for some time. Unless the 787 body sections from Kawasaki and Fuji don't go together with the rest as planned.





The 787 and A380 don't compete, they are just the current development tasks of the two companies. The A350 competes with the 787 and the 747-800 might be seen as a competitor with the A380.
Boeing has passed Airbus and is out front. In their effort to build ';the biggest'; Airbus didn't realise that although there is going to be a need for higher capasity planes in the forseeable future, and the public is used to and expects wide bodied air liners, but the modern traveler is not looking to get on a huge airliner that holds hundreds of people and might take an hour and a half to load.The flying public has seen big planes and are looking for convernience and avoiding large hub airports.
yes i think they do but they have alot ot work on
ooohhh ya they doing good..
What Anthony said. It's Airbus that is flying behind the power curve (or production curve, in this case). If they ever have to fly the coop and operate without the multinational government subsidies to sustain them, they could be in [even] big[ger] trouble.
Boeing seems to be doing pretty fine now with all cooperation (unwilling, though) from Airbus.





The question would be, will Airbus be able to make up for its lost time on Boeing?
it already is
LOL.... Airbus A380 is one wait the biggest passenger jet in the world.





787 is one of the most luxurious plane i've seen
