My only question at this point: How has Airbus managed to avoid such problems so far? I really have begun admiring Airbus for this. It looks almost like Boeing is losing the grip on its core business and slowly decaying into some half-assed bureaucratic mess.


Multiple governments involved that is at least French, German and Spanish. So capturing all of those at one time is much harder process.


Europe puts people before corporations.

America puts corporations before people.

There are endless articles about how American business is "more competitive" ... and it is, but this is the price.


Part of the answer could be that Airbus is European and regulated by different authorities.


Airbus was an underdog, and it's always easier being the underdog?

If Airbus becomes dominant for decades like Boeing was, it's likely that it could start experiencing the same problems.


Is it? Airbuse gross income: 50 bln, boejing: 60 bln. Net income: 5bln vs -6 bln.
