Why Airbus And Boeing Dominate The Sky

Airbus and Boeing dominate an already under competitive airline manufacturing industry. The duopoly owns the sky by making up 99% of global large aircraft orders and those large plane orders make up more than 90% of the total plane market according to the Teal Group, an aerospace market analysis company (regional jet manufacturers only account for 7% of the airplane market by value).

The duopoly doesn’t have many competitors, but overseas competition is brewing. China’s state-run company, COMAC, is poised to make waves in the aviation manufacturing industry, but some say not for a couple decades.

This is how Airbus and Boeing took over airplane manufacturing.

Why Airbus And Boeing Dominate The Sky

[matttaylor]

4 billion people did not fly last year. 4 billion flight tickets were sold and used, many by repeat customers.

"Will supersonic jets challenge Boeing and Airbus"?

* checks calendar to make sure it's 2019 not 1969 *

"Spirit and frontier only operate Airbus"
*Proceeds to show a picture of a Boeing 747 in the background*

The Concorde wasn't at fault for its crash, it was a DC-10's fault. A broken part of the DC-10 had fallen on the runway just before the Concorde had taken off from the same runway five minutes ago.

“Safety comes with a hefty price tag” well, looks like Boeing shopped during the sale... #mcas

Waiting for chinese knock offs; Boink and Airfuss

[lordeisschrank]

it's kinda ironic how Boeing always whines about gov subsidies others receive while they are the single worst offender

[goldwinger]

How did it get to be a duopoly? Why could the commercial aircraft industry not support a host of companies like McDonnell Douglas, , Convair, Lockheed, DeHaviland, etc.? That's what I was expecting this video to be.

[PeteSimpson]

You said "the Concorde was short lived", hey, what?
The Concorde flew for almost 30 years, how exactly is that short lived???

[mattforner]

I enjoy flying both Boeing and Airbus jets. I've flown the Boeing 787 on American, United, and Air Canada, and will be flying the Airbus A-350 on Delta in a couple of months. In reality, they are pretty much the same...if anything, it's the airlines that operate them at treat passengers differently and ask for different design specs (like wider seats, more legroom, greater pitch, etc.)

[MrKamaboko]

Duopoly you say?
Corona: How's about Nopoly

[hobie]

It’s really cessna that rules the skies

[daviddima]

Everybody: omg new aibus plane. Omg new boeing plane.
Embraer, bombardier, ATR: you guys mocking us right ?

[madingwang]

avgeeks breathing heavily while watching this video

[nickrowe]

Concorde’s days were short lived *lasted 27 YEARS*

[tpmiranda]

Fun fact: The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde had technology and features that were transferred to Airbus airplanes, and the Concorde eventually became technically supported by Airbus, as Aérospatiale became a stakeholder, and later part, of Airbus. In fact, the French Concordes and the A300 were both built/assembled in Toulouse, home of Sud Aviation, one of the predecessors of Aérospatiale and Airbus.

Did anyone notice at 2:43 they said "they drew up plans for a short hall European Airbus" THEY SHOWED DRAWINGS OF A BOEING 747!!! WTF

[aurorajones]

I hate lobbying. The idea of a corporation giving money to government officials to go against the public (which is what our government is SUPPOSE TO DO WORK FOR THE PUBLIC) is despicable and should be illegal.

[hyraxist]

I hate the way cnbc criticise the concorde. It lived a long time from 1976 to 2003 that's quite a while. I am skeptical of a supersonic aircraft coming from the USA I doubt we shall see that.
