A turbulent start to the week for Boeing 🛬 In a significant development for the aviation sector, Boeing faced a challenging Monday as its shares listed in Frankfurt experienced a sharp decline, plunging as much as 8%. This downturn follows the recent directive from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, which called for the temporary grounding of several Boeing 737 MAX 9 jets. The decision was prompted by an incident involving a panel detaching from an Alaska Airlines jet midair, resulting in an emergency landing. Meanwhile, Airbus, Boeing’s key competitor, seems to be navigating smoother skies. Its shares saw a 2% increase. This upturn is noteworthy, especially as Airbus is set to announce its annual performance, with industry insiders suggesting it delivered 735 planes last year. If confirmed, this would mark Airbus as the world’s largest planemaker for the fifth consecutive year, a testament to its growing market share and resilience, particularly in the wake of the challenges faced by Boeing since 2018. #Boeing #Airbus #AviationIndustry #Aerospace #NYSE #StockMarket #FAA #AirSafety #737MAX #AircraftManufacturing #Algoimperial #Furures #AI

Interesting thought: if the FAA is issuing a warning about the 737. How should we respond. I have never worried about boarding a flight and have never picked a flight based on whether the manufacturer was Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Embraer, etc. Also, once a plane is delivered to an airline, its safety is basically transferred to the airline. However, if there are fundamental manufacturing flaws in the plane, that falls back on the OEM. Recently, in conversations with several senior executives this past week, the topic of flight safety has come up. Some of them are now paying attention to who built the plane they are flying on. This is massive. Airlines will now have to consider the fact that consumers care about who built the plane. Will people start picking flights based on the manufacturer? That would fundamentally change the aerospace industry. #aerospace

Question to professionals: how many planes you should order at once to get primary slots for delivery? Also: at what number you will receive maximum possible discount from producer? How many %? Airbus Aircraft #Airbus #Planes #Aviation #Aircraft

Good article by Richard Aboulafia here on the need for an engine for a mid-market aircraft. Currently, there is a gap in the market for this type of plane. Boeing has declined to build something for this market space. According to Aboulafia, the A321, which is the only aircraft in this class, represents an imperfect fit for the market need and remains vulnerable to new entrants like #JetZero and potentially others. #jetpropulsion #aviation https://lnkd.in/gvmtSzCU

April 2024 marks 19 years of the Airbus A380, with the aircraft first taking to the skies on April 27, 2005. We used our #flightdata to examine the past 12 months of A380 operations, looking at the key operators, routes and the utilization of specific aircraft.

✈️ Airbus vs. Boeing: A Quick Comparison Airbus (founded 1970) and Boeing (founded 1916) are the giants of commercial aviation, each with unique strengths: Airbus: Known for its advanced technology and automation, with popular models like the A320 and A350. The A380 is the world's largest passenger airliner. Boeing: Praised for its pilot-centric design and innovation, featuring iconic models like the 737 and 787 Dreamliner. The 747, or "Jumbo Jet," was the first wide-body airliner. Design Philosophy: Airbus: Emphasizes automation and technology. Boeing: Focuses on pilot control and feedback. Both companies continuously evolve, offering efficient and competitive aircraft for airlines worldwide. 🌍✈️ #Aviation #Airbus #Boeing #Aircraft #Aerospace #Airlines

Boeing hit by quality lapses, certification delays; Airbus soars to dominance While Boeing’s leadership scrambled to contain its latest crisis — following the in-flight door plug blowout on an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 — top executives at Airbus confidently laid out the rival’s success in 2023 and its dominance of the commercial airliner business. The data on last year’s jet orders and deliveries released by both manufacturers shows Airbus was the world’s No. 1 airplane maker for the fifth straight year and pulling away from its U.S. competitor. Airbus delivered 735 commercial jets last year, compared to Boeing’s 528. And Airbus won almost 2,100 net orders, a new record, versus slightly over 1,300 for Boeing.
