1. In each of the cases who benefits and who suffers from the alleged ethical and legal lapses of Airbus? The case study shows that politics play a major role in ordering the aircrafts from the manufacturers. Kickbacks are encouraged not only by the politicians but the manufacturers as well. In the first case in Belgian where Sabena orders 17 Airbus planes and later increases the order to 34 which it did not need at all. It’s this move helped trigger airline’s collapse four years later its order

CASE 24 Ethics and Airbus One September‚ a fraud squad‚ led by Jean-Claude Van Espen‚ a Belgian magistrate‚ raided Airbus’s headquarters in Toulouse. “They wanted to check whether there was possible falsification of documents‚ bribery or other infractions as part of the sale of Airbus aircraft to Sabena‚” says Van Espen’s spokesman. The team of 20 Belgian and French investigators interviewed several Airbus employees during its three-day stay in Toulouse and carted away boxes of documents. In November

1. Airbus is interested in developing the A3XX because its sees a future need for super jumbo jets. Airbus reasons that as the number of passengers increase‚ airlines will eventually be unable to add more routes in their flight schedules and will favor planes with higher passenger capacity. Airbus predicts that the VLA market will have a demand for 1‚550 planes over a 20-year period (till 2019). In addition to the demand for jets having increased passenger carrying capacity‚ Airbus also had the following

Background: Airbus Industrie (Airbus) was founded as a consortium of several aerospace companies spread across several countries that combined their resources and technologies to produce a competitive line of commercial aircraft. Over the years the company developed a reputation for being innovative in design and technology. In 1990‚ Airbus in conjunction with Boeing began a feasibility study to create a jumbo jet‚ but Boeing withdrew due to cost and uncertainty in demand. Airbus was interested

Airbus A3XX: Developing the World’s Largest Commercial Jet Introduction: From its inception in 1970‚ Airbus has maintained a reputation for innovative design and technology. Airbus has employed a “fly-by-wire” technology on all of its planes as an efficient alternative to computerized control for mechanical linkages. In addition‚ Airbus streamlined operations and features that have lead to better pilot utilization and lower training costs. These advances help explain why Airbus had received over

INTRODUCTION Until 1980‚ the American manufacturers in the aerospace industry enjoyed an exclusive control of the aerospace industry despite the entry of the European-based Airbus industry in the late 1960s. The American manufacturers dominated the industry at the time that it was difficult for the European manufacturers to compete‚ but just like all industries resources and capabilities are fundamental building blocks for a firm’s strategy. Some business organizations especially those in the airline

Reasons that Airbus interested in A3XX A Revolution Adventure -- The first objective of this project is to fill the market gap by introducing a new type of aircraft. 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

Project Economics/ Feasibility The demand for very large aircraft (VLA) which is forecasted to be around 1550 planes including passenger jumbo jets and freight carriers in the next 20 year period provides an opportunity for Airbus to capture this market with its A3XX.

The idea of a jumbo airliner being capable of seating over 500 people almost seemed unreal. That is‚ until Airbus came along. This idea for the jumbo plane started as a joint venture with Boeing‚ but after it started Boeing backed out because of high costs and speculation of demand. Airbus pushed along and in 1999‚ they completed to rough draft of this plane. The problem with this plane that was obvious was first the overall cost of the plane. It was estimated to cost about 13 billion to launch.
