Got the lowdown from a Boeing worker on Airbus. He says the EU is subsidizing the sale of the planes with two years of free maintenance and that the planes are junk and that the cost to maintain them after the two free years is going to show up big-time.

The A380 seems like it's going to be the new spruce goose ...

European Aircraft giant Airbus Industrie has cried foul over state-run Air India's decision to buy 50 Boeing jets

Ok, who is the PhotoShop guru?

Need an Official Seal (of whine) for EU / Airbus.

Airbus sounds like the American Presidential candidate the Euros supported last November: lost fair and square but still complains about the results, demands a recount, etc..

airbus keeps trying to make issue with the dreamliner as being "too small" in comparison to the concept of a double decker.

Does anyone know the cost PER PERSON to trasport an individual on a 787 vs an a380?

Flew an A320 from Paris to Moscow. Good food and cute French girls, but more side to side motion than a roller coaster.

My wife is Russian and prefers Boeing first and even the old Russian planes, despite the fact the service sucks on Aeroflot.

Harwood Airbus Industrie vice president Nigel Harwood said...he would write to India's civil aviation ministry seeking reconsideration . . . and ask for fresh tenders.




I got your fresh tenders right here, Nigel,
now sit down and STFU.

Was this really the choice for Air India? The B787 and A380 don't seem to be anywhere close in market segment, size-wise. Maybe the range is close, but the Airbus carries close to double the passengers. Only way I could see them competing is if Air India were planning two simultaneous flights to the same destination in a B787 versus one in an A380 - and even then, why not have the flexibility to split those flights up?

Sounds like Airbus needs someone to call them a whaaambulance.
