Here's the problem for Airbus: they gambled on the A380 and lost BIG TIME. Airbus should have developed what is now the A350XWB instead like six years ago to better challenge the Boeing 777. By quieting down the planes with improved high-bypass engines and quieter engine nacelles, Airbus could have built a plane that could operate from even very noise-restricted airports like London Heathrow nearly around the clock, reducing the pressure on landing slots.

But yet, Airbus does have its highly successful program, namely the A320 Family of single-aisle airliners. Now well-liked by passengers and flight crews the A320 continues to be a good seller even today.

Well-liked by passengers?

As one that has flown many A320's as a passenger, include me out of that assessment.

I heard Boeing is about to hit the A320 with a new 737 and try to end all of that.
