Impact on Airbus of Boeing dramas.
Impact on Airbus of Boeing dramas.
With all the media attention being directed at Boeing, we hear very little of it's impact on Airbus. Are they just chugging along unchanged or making hay whilst the sun shines? When your primary competitor is busy digging itself into a hole, are they in an ascendancy?

The problem for AB is they cannot satisfy the increased demand for hulls.
