Hate to say it but the reason why Ana And those eastern airlines are only buying the 777X is because they want it because it has a lot of room for luxurious first class and bussniess class seats which is all they care about
Mm. I see, so is the same reason for Singapore airlines, Cathay pacific . (I think so)
Anyways, after all. Airlines can’t cancel immediately their Boeing orders and go for airbus aircraft’s. They need to pay for a cancellation fee. It depends for aircraft to aircraft. I would say 737max and 787 Dreamliner are being successful compared to 777x orders.
Despite 737max crashes, the aircraft survived well for the “suitable narrow body market”. Recently, flew on a SQ 737max. It was smooth without any issues in my travel.
The 787 Dreamliner at the other hand, is getting orders for the 10th variant apart from 9s.
This person meant “everyone ”. So it made me to understand that no airlines in the World (100%) want Boeing aircrafts. Either he should’ve said “the majority”. I would had understood it clearly.
I know airbus fairs well with the range and efficiency. Explains why jal and SQ Secretly fly their selective A350s for regional. (I would like to fly once in the life in a regional A350. This became my favourite aircraft in airbus .)
The operators are still flying Boeing. So it’s 40% I can say (737max 8,9 and 787-8,9,10 Dreamliner) flying in this percentage. It does Mean that, Boeing will fail sooner.
Maybe after 10 years, if this regime still exist. The airlines have no option but, to opt Airbus. Once and for good.
Sorry for the lengthy response.
