Executive Summary In fierce competition with Boeing‚ venture into VLA segment – as a rather neglected segment by Boeing – could pose as a strategic opportunity for Airbus which it could utilize to build a competitive advantage combined with its technological resources and capabilities. However‚ its assumptions of a drastic increase in VLAs demanded in next 20 years along with its ability to satisfy most of this are too optimistic. Provided that these assumptions (inc. breakeven points‚ initial order

Compared to the 747‚ the A3XX provides more advantageous features which would attract passengers especially on the longer routes‚ such as more space per seat‚ four-engine plane‚ etc. The combination of increased capacity and reduced costs would provide superior economics. Airbus felt confident that capacity increases would eventually prevail. As we stated above‚ Airbus’s objectives are to break up the monopoly of the 747‚ to increase

compares Boeing and Airbus in very large aircraft. Introduction In December 2000‚ Airbus committed to spend $11.9 billion to develop and launch a 555-seat superjumbo plane known as the A380. Prior to Airbus’ commitment‚ Boeing started an initiative to develop a “stretch jumbo” with capacity in between its existing jumbo (the 747) and Airbus’ planned superjumbo‚ had stopped the effort‚ and then had restarted it. After Airbus’ formal commitment‚ Boeing cancelled

Overview William Boeing founded the Boeing Company in 1916 in Puget Sound‚ Washington. William had modest goals as a young Yale engineering graduate‚ first making it big in the timber industry. When the Wright bothers showed the world the idea of flight‚ William was intrigued. He then decided that it was time that he should enter into the field of aviation. Boeing and his friend Conrad Westervelt teamed up to create a more practical plane after witnessing the Wright brother’s creation and further

younger Airbus and the bigger Boeing. Boeing had been at the forefront of civil aviation for over half century. Airbus was founded in 1970as a consortium and merged into a new company known as European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company. Airbus developed “fly-by-wire” technology and “cross crew qualification” technology to compete with Boeing in large jets (those with 70 or more seats) market. While Airbus was booked more than half of the order for large aircraft‚ Boeing was the monopoly in the very

Airbus‚ with A3XX under the plan‚ is stepping into an area that Boeing has rarely touched‚ the very large aircraft (VLA) market. If Airbus well forecasts the future market‚ A3XX will be the flagship in a new airline revolution. Capturing more than half the VLA market with A3XX‚ Airbus would constitute an enormous financial

The operation of VLA can bring higher profit margin. However‚ the initial investment required for launching this kind of aircraft is extremely high‚ and both companies can be dragged down if fail. Boeing and Airbus have had discrepancy for predicting the future size of the VLA market. They are still unsure how

Although the A3XX would have a higher list price than the 747-400‚ Airbus claimed the combination of increased capacity and reduced cost would provide superior economics. The operating cost per flight would be 12% more than the 747’’ cost‚ but given the plane’s 35% greater capacity‚ it would provide almost %25 more volume for free. According to Airbus‚ the A3XX need only 323 passengers to break even‚ on the other hand 747 needs 290. 3. As Boeing‚ how would you respond to this situation? How does your
