Boeing had a 20 year head start, but in a rapidly growing market that doesn’t count as much as in a stable one. FTA: “By 1988, when Airbus launched its new A320 narrowbody jet, Boeing had already established a strong lead, having delivered around 1,500 of its popular jets” So, Boeing sold about 1,500 767s in the first 20 years and over 10,500 in the < 40 years since. Airbus sold about 12,000 in the < 40 years since. So, to catch up, Airbus produced about 15% more than Boeing did. |
