American Airlines Says "NO" to Airbus A350! What's Wrong??
In 20 18, American Airlines announced it had spent 12 billion dollars, ordering 47 Boeing 7 8 7 Dreamliner aircraft. 22 dash 8 and 25 dash 9 aircraft variants are expected to be delivered to the airline for operations in 2020 and 2023 respectively. Along with this billion-dollar order, American Airlines canceled the contract to order the A3 50 Airbus aircraft. So what happened? What is the reason why the A3 50 was turned away by the airline? American Airlines Says "NO" to Airbus A350! What's Wrong??
So when did American Airlines order the Airbus plane? Back in 2005, two struggling airlines, US Airways and America West Airlines, completed merger procedures and became the sixth largest airline in the US. With its mainly A3 20 and A3 30 fleet at that time, US Airways chose the A3 50 as part of its future fleet. The A3 50 was introduced as Airbus's answer to the market demand for medium-capacity long-range wide-body aircraft. A3 50.
American Airlines Says "NO" to Airbus A350! What's Wrong??However, it faces the challenges of high fuel prices and increasing passenger expectations. Regardless, the plane has a completely new 21 Century design with a wider fuselage. promising to bring customers great experiences on the plane with more spacious space and enhanced privacy.

Forgive me for not watching the vid, but I understand that its all about old news. I saw the chapter headings, and it it seems to make no mention of the latest rumours, which were all over the international press in February 2024, about the likelihood of AA reordering the A350. The history about their cancelled order is just that, history. Its the next 'chapter' which is most relevant, so to produce a vid about history rather than concentrate on today seems pointless to

[foohm]

Bad decision given the situation with Boeing now

[Elliasp-xxmb]

US Airways : "We survived with an Airbus on the Hudson River" AA : "Let's take Boeing !"

[grandnagus]

I wonder how often they have kicked themself for canceling the A350 order, getting a inferior product given the product quality resulting from the lack of quality of production and QA at Boeing.

[bernhardecklin]

Why go for Boeing when you can get real airplanes?

[sorencito]

Did you not make a video about emirates the other day saying the same, and they just bought A350s? Why should we watch this video? Click bait!

[rickwhite]

Buying Boeing airplanes these days is a risky sport. They might be grounded for months - if not years.
I believe there was lot of politics involved when they turned away from Airbus. That might cost America Airlines dearly.

[wadehiggins]

Typical american company, they'll purchase the inferior domestic product.

This secures Delta’s place as the best of the large US carriers. In addition to the fact that I can’t stand the pervasive arrogance among a large number of AA’s personnel.

[Lucky]

Terrible decision... Delta has lots of Airbus included A350..

[MySkyranger]

Good luck to all Boeing passengers. You’ll need it.

[YamiPheonix]

American Airlines should’ve taken possession of said Airbus a350s and sold them off to another airline. The delivery slots of those Airbus a350s are very valuable due to the long order backlog. American Airlines just surrendered their spot in line to a competitor airline company. And they went to the back of the line for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

[apostoloskaknis]

This incomprehensible text in a video with conflicting hypotheses and conclusions is something I've never seen before. Just follow the footsteps of Simple flying...

[calou]

american airlines has been making shitty choices for 30 years and it just keeps going on !!!!

[Dan.d]

There apparently is nothing wrong here. The American Airlines wide-body fleet plan was decided from the very beginning, to use the Boeing product for the long term. The 777 and the 787 airplanes in the fleet have typically been utilized really well on the long haul flights lately. The A350 on the other hand, is a superb aircraft, but was not needed to be kept after the merger took place with US Airways. The current all Boeing wide-body fleet American has, is what the airline was most comfortable with, despite some issues with the 787 and the 777. It was something that was studied upon with the company headquarters.

[jasnisaaman]

B787 and A350 are excellent aircrafts. Airline pick which will be cost effective for them and how much less they can get if they purchase these aircrafts. Don’t forget, there is also the A330Neo which is also a very good aircraft. With B757 becoming very old, airlines will need to find their replacement. It is all about economics.

[nabilisur]

Even, Delta Airlines says "NO" to BOEING 787 because, Delta Airlines had a curious and mysterious order for the reason why.

[zeondeane]

Nothing wrong. AA is completely loyal to Boeing as expected. The A350 is the world most superior airliner on every level. Delta has taken on Airbus A350s and will now gain ground on AA. Just watch. Boeing needs a reset with putting passenger safety before profits.

[rockyshore]

Why would US Air have ordered A350s anyway?? They didn't need that kind of range. Cheaper A330s would've sufficed.

[TDKB]

Airbus A350 is the best wide body aircraft in the world.
