Airbus is doing the smart thing by not making promises they can't deliver. If the airlines want a quality product, they'll simply have to wait. Airbus is also clearly learning from Boeing's failures by not stretching and redesigning the a320 but rather acknowledge that it's time for a clean design to replace the a320 entirely. Boeing needs to be taking notes at this point.
The thing people don't understand is Boeing was working on a clean sheet replacement for the 737. The introduction of the NEO from Airbus turned the market on it's head and forced Boeing to scrap the project to respond to Airbus unless they were to lose almost their entire narrow body market share. That's the TLDR version of how we got where we are today and why we got stuck with the MAX.
@@The_Timer_GuyAirbus does the same thing with their fuel tanks. They sacrifice passengers and cargo for one more fuel tank. It's funny the global warming alarmists in Europe keep quiet about that
My son was flying to Portugal. As he is a big fellow, he was assigned a seat next to an emergency exit. That was not the first time. He got the explanation of how to open such a door in case of an emergency before. Awaiting departure he saw a flight attendant coming to him, so he asked: "When will they tell me how to operate this door?". The flight attendant looked at him and said: "Don't worry, this is an Airbus".
That was an unacceptable statement by the attendant. No safety comparisons are to be had in the aviation industry by those who work in it. You may have a point of view at home but no comparisons when working!
Airbus is part of a duopoly. It never considered that it could become a monopoly, neither did it's subcontractors. Now that it's being forced to become one it can't adapt fast enough. That's why Boeing getting it's act together, or being completely replaced by another new company, is so important.
@@wadehiggins1114 unfortunately there isn't a replacement. No company that I can think of has the capability, both in terms of engineering abilities, capital and political backing to make it happen. COMAC...well it will be a long time before the west buys it.

Glad to see Airbus refuse new orders, instead of sacrificing build quality of their products. I could easily see another manufacturer pushing their planes out of the assembly halls, even if bolts are missing!
Given the 737 Max fiasco, I am surprised Embrayer hasn't been making a move and designing a competitor to the 320 family, especially as I find monopolies unhealthy for industry.
Designing a new aircraft and a production facility is a years-long process, close to a decade if you're doing it clean-sheet like Embraer would have to. Bombardier started development of the CSeries in 2008, for example.
Bombardier really tried with the C series but got cold feet, sold it to Airbus and now it's the A220 which is not quite a 737 or an A320 competitor. Embraer has the E2 series and that's kind of up there with the A220, but not quite. COMAC is really trying to be the 3rd major airplane manufacturer, but they have a long way to go before they have the production, parts network, and certified aircraft before they are good to go.
At least AIRBUS is being honest about not being able to keep up with the damand. That’s not an easy thing to say. Also happy to know that Airbus is designing a new clean sheet narrowbody. Boeing shoud do the same as soon as the 777x is certified to focus on designing a new clean sheet norrowbody that replaces the Max.
It makes it a lot easier for Airbus to be honest, in the knowledge customers can't go anywhere else at the moment. But I agree, being honest will always be a winner, despite the world we are living in!
I’m sure that Kelly Ortberg the new CEO will keep working with NASA in working on their collaboration on a new aircraft type. I’m also hoping that he’ll look into designing an NMA that Boeing so desperately needs.
I'm a bit afraid, if Airbus wants or will ramp up production, they will go the same way as Boeing. More pressure on their employees is asking for trouble.

Can’t help but feel like the situation at Airbus and Boeing, with seemingly unlimited demand for new planes and orders being placed so far out in the future, is essentially a bubble. One that sooner or later will burst. Considering the current condition Boeing finds itself in, and with Airbus now having to turn away orders I wonder if we are starting to see the beginnings of the bubble bursting already. All I hope is things turn out well for Embraer and they start benefiting from this. Even though their planes aren’t selling the way Boeing and Airbus’ have they make fantastic aircraft, have great engineers, and the regional market is still a very important part of the industry
Making commercial airplanes always has been a notorious boom-and-bust business. We are in the boom phase for sure so, yes, the bust will come some day, some how. But no-one can predict when, or how big it will be. So it is absolutely the right thing for everyone for Airbus to try and make hay while the sun shines.
Given these lengthening delays in supplying new aircraft, the airlines will need to get better at refurbishing their existing aircraft. Even if it burns more fuel an older aircraft will still make them more money than not flying at all.
Hence why there must be more than one reliable supplier. I know people want to drive that other supplier into the ground as much as they can, but it’s not good for anybody, including the airlines us passengers use. Higher fuel bills we have to pay, older cabins that are less comfortable, potential unreliability with older jets, the list goes on
That means these few years is the perfect time to ride vintage aircraft - not from the 70s/80s but the 90s/00s. Lufthansa is flying a variety of quadjets, even Cathay Pacific/hkexpress are clinging on to a few 20-ish year old A320s and A330s.
I don't see anyone commenting on the fact that industry giants like Airbus are weary of industry fluctuations. It is ludicrously expensive (and time consuming) to build out new facilities. When covid hit, suddenly all orders were cancelled. Same as for 9/11 and the recession of 08-09. Right now Airbus is "losing" some money due to not having enough production facilities. But facilities standing still? That's way more costly
Embraer should really try to sell itself and its largest jets as a quicker delivery product and try to competw at the shorter haul for now... if it can get its own manufacturing working solidly.
But it is not assembly lines that are the bottleneck. It is part supply - they have over 1,000 suppliers for a jet. And they can't afford to pressure those suppliers to build quicker for fear of them doing a Boeing and sacrificing quality for quantity.
My first thought was "ok, luxury problem", but if Airbus can't keep up with production, they cannot capitalize properly on Boeing's current relative weakness, which might hurt them in the future.
Having to turn down customers because of overwhelming demand is a luxury problem for any company. When this happens because the main competitors planes keep falling apart or out of the sky, is a tragedy. But criticizing Airbus for this situation just shows ignorance unless there is a hidden agenda behind this video?
Please explain how this video appears critical of Airbus? The video explains the company's situation, taking quotes from Airbus executives as its foundation.
In theory they could develop new planes, but it usually takes years+billions in development. I red somewhere, that they have necessary staff to do that, but they want to focus on their regional planes. And I think their financial situation is not great to invest billions in a completely new plane.
That is over-exagerated. The real problem is being a company that has a number one prioritiy to satisfy stockholders. Greed is the problem. The engineering is there. Piroities are set wrong.
@@tjanson1 I see. I thought he talked about Boeing facility, not Boeing itself. But Airbus buying the civilian division of Boeing is kinda feasable ? If you take away the military division ?
Why on Earth would they build a new assembly plant in Europe in a *non-EU* country? They already have assembly plants in Germany and France, they will just expand those (as well as the American and Canadian ones). Besides, most (if not all) wings are made in the UK.
Airbus makes plane parts all over the EU, this is a vestige of how Airbus came to be in the first place as a European Aircraft consortium. The UK is where they make wings.
Has anyone else noticed how Airbus workers are always in uniform and look professional while Boeing workers wear whatever they want and looks like a backyard company?
I find it interesting that on the heels of Smaller twin aisle & larger single aisle trend… airplane maniufactureres are unable to keep up with the demand - compounded by “profit first” operational mindsets that led to production short comings. No wonder Delta is still flying 30+ year ol A320’s
When customers start pushing pressure that’s when mistakes starts to happen because of rushing things…why can’t the airlines just be patient"? At the end of the day it’s better to have a good product late but with no issues than having it n a rush way and then peoples life are lost…
Just a simple thought....Is the A330-800, which is horrible to sell, built at the same line as the -900? IF NOT, would there be a 2th chance to upload this type for sale, due the fact of the long waiting list of planes bought from Airbus? Maybe a new less efficient plane, 'tomorrow' instead of waiting 5 or 10 years for the one you want!
Things take time. Especially in a ruthless duopoly that has for decades forced suppliers to operate on bare thing margins. The industry isn’t made for a switch off/on event like covid. And unlike other industries there’s generally less suppliers supplying the duopoly.
duopoly. because they can. they know they still have an upper hand over customers who are left with very little to no options. this is where China is needed to shake things up.
It's because the commercial aircraft business isn't a business that easily scales up or down. It requires a lot of time and money because the standards for commercial aircraft parts are high and it takes literal years of full time OJT and book work to train the workers for certain jobs. It's not like producing Coca-Cola or coffee mugs at all.😊
That's not a cake factory. It's jet, very sophisticated pieces of machine with a lot safety mesures to satisfy to ensure people's safety. Look the result at boeing with over capitalism thinking? For me it's just a call for a 3 player in the game. Embraer should think of entering the game for the benefit of customers and the whole industry
leap 1c is leap only in name, it is a generation behind on purpose (due to unwillingness to give the chinese a top of the line jet engine) Moreover adding an engine option is a big expense.
Its just like the vw buzz. I bet that even 2025-26 stock has been sold & even if they could make more then having parts in stock for extra production isnt possible
Because Boeing will always be ready to offer those customers a lower price. IAG for example has already begun ordering 737 MAXs despite airlines in the group like BA and Aer Lingus already being big A320 operators.
Besides that would not look good among the customers - greed would be punished !... we must think beyond tomorrow !... we are not in the vegetables market !...
Airlines might delay buying new planes because of it because it would make it more economical to keep flying older planes. And when they finally do end up buying new planes they might be going to Boeing and not Airbus.
Actually A321NEO (LR/XLR in particular) is already substantially costing more than MAX9/10 - but given it can do what MAX can't do many airlines still flock to it, including MAX customers. Also it's not like MAX queue is shorter either, especially after the certification delay and production cap.
This duopoly is bad for the industry. I want to see a new player enter the market. Embraer must be thinking about how they can build a plane that can compete against the 737 and the A320. Who else might be able to step up?
The BRICS countries, especially China and Rusia, besides Brazil(Embraer), will during the next decades be the Big Players. Eventually, the BRICS+ countries will be cover a large % of countries/markets requiring new aircrafts, which will principally affect Boeing. Airbus will continue growing at a nice pace in the future, with or without Boeing.
The target of 14 had been set with the previous ~$1b investment in the A220. It was never reached so now they have to invest another $1b nto it. Will this second billion investment to ramp up production work this time?
Are you sure? I think it's still the same plan. The only difference is that Airbus reached a deal with the Canadian government to co-finance the project.
@@RM6737 Canadian government is not involved, it is the Québec (provincial) government. The newest $1b in investment is the same plan to reach 14/month, except that this had been expected to be achieved with the first $1b invested and it didn't come close. Because the A220 is cash negative, it can't self-fund any of the investment to raise production.
@@RM6737 restarting after having lst comment. 01-SEP-2016 CSALP created to own C-Series. Bombardier 51.5%, Québec 49.5% xx-OCT-2017 deal to offer 50% to Airbus announced. 01-JUL-2018 Aibus owns 50.1%, Québec 19% Bombardier 31% (others submets such as 24$ and 16% were bandied about at some point). 19MAR2019 CSALP Renamed Airbus Canada Limited Partnetship (LP) 12-FEB-2020 Airbus pays $591m to Bombardier to raise stake to 75%. Québec donates buildings/infrastrcuture to CSALP to raise its stake to 25%. 04-FEB-2022 Québec ($300m) and Airbus (900m) invest $1.2b to productise the A220 and target 14/month. This investment was needed because Bombardier couldn't do its share and had to sell its shares in 2020 and it took that long to convince Québec government to waste more money into project. (Bombardier was supposed to invest to finish developping since 2016 and just got to first delivery and left assembly in "pilot project assembly" state). 23-JUL2024 Québec ($300m) and Airbus (900m) invest ANOTHER $1.2b to raise A220 production to 14/month
...maybe you didn't watch the video but the issues are mainly down to the supply chain, not assembly. Building a new factory isn't going to help them if the supply chain throughout remains the same.
C919 engines are french, avionics US, landing gear german,,.... I'm sure they are working on making it 100% chinese one day but they are far from it right now (look at the russian superjet story, many western parts, sanctions, trying to build 100% russian, crash)....and most likely will need new certicication after such a large number of changes. The mc21 might never fly... Meanwhile they will be limited by suppliers capacities at least as much as Boeing & Airbus
Airbus has a backlog of over 8,000 orders. They don't have to pay the media anything. The only thing the A220 needs is an option to those unreliable Pratt geared turbofand.

Could this mean increased demand for the E195-E2?
Airbus need to double or triple USA A220 production
It can’t with all the issues with A220s now
Hey airbus keep your engineering edge and don’t let the bean counters call the shots .
Just ordered few dozens of A320s for future 👍
Makes sense why companies are ordering the max
Good luck ordering the Max
@@jonpetter8921 something is better than nothing i guess
@@bp900 Not in this case
Its just like the vw buzz.
I bet that even 2025-26 stock has been sold & even if they could make more then having parts in stock for extra production isnt possible
Quality vs quantity. Choose quality. (look what happen to the other guy)
A good problem to have
Pls start production in india... Or expand the vadodara facility...
maybe airbus should consider building more plants for a320, brazil or mexico seem to be good options
What I don't understand: Why doesn't Airbus raise the prices for it's aircraft to a level where supply meets demand?
Because Boeing will always be ready to offer those customers a lower price. IAG for example has already begun ordering 737 MAXs despite airlines in the group like BA and Aer Lingus already being big A320 operators.
Besides that would not look good among the customers - greed would be punished !... we must think beyond tomorrow !... we are not in the vegetables market !...
Airlines might delay buying new planes because of it because it would make it more economical to keep flying older planes. And when they finally do end up buying new planes they might be going to Boeing and not Airbus.
Actually A321NEO (LR/XLR in particular) is already substantially costing more than MAX9/10 - but given it can do what MAX can't do many airlines still flock to it, including MAX customers.
Also it's not like MAX queue is shorter either, especially after the certification delay and production cap.
They actually did. They arent offering the massive discounts that they used to simply because they dont have to.
These guys better not cave into the pressure to rush. Enough whistle-blowers have "fallen out of windows"
Guillaume is pronounced ‘Gee-Yem’, with a hard G at the start
selling like hot cakes
This duopoly is bad for the industry. I want to see a new player enter the market. Embraer must be thinking about how they can build a plane that can compete against the 737 and the A320. Who else might be able to step up?
My thoughts exactly.
I would say Comac, since they have the backing of the Chinese government. Their domestic market is enough to build another giant in the industry.
The BRICS countries, especially China and Rusia, besides Brazil(Embraer), will during the next decades be the Big Players. Eventually, the BRICS+ countries will be cover a large % of countries/markets requiring new aircrafts, which will principally affect Boeing. Airbus will continue growing at a nice pace in the future, with or without Boeing.
Damn, Boeing really be seeing China catching up and decided to help Comac out
Right now Comac's production rate is nowhere near that of Boeing or Airbus. And apparently their order book is also filled to the brim.
The problem with success
The union will strike if they open up another production facility
That will open way for the Chinese airlines
What a waste! Cebu Pacific have spend ₱1.4 billion for more A320neos and A321neos!
The target of 14 had been set with the previous ~$1b investment in the A220. It was never reached so now they have to invest another $1b nto it. Will this second billion investment to ramp up production work this time?
Are you sure? I think it's still the same plan. The only difference is that Airbus reached a deal with the Canadian government to co-finance the project.
@@RM6737 Canadian government is not involved, it is the Québec (provincial) government. The newest $1b in investment is the same plan to reach 14/month, except that this had been expected to be achieved with the first $1b invested and it didn't come close. Because the A220 is cash negative, it can't self-fund any of the investment to raise production.
@@RM6737 restarting after having lst comment.
01-SEP-2016 CSALP created to own C-Series. Bombardier 51.5%, Québec 49.5%
xx-OCT-2017 deal to offer 50% to Airbus announced.
01-JUL-2018 Aibus owns 50.1%, Québec 19% Bombardier 31% (others submets such as 24$ and 16% were bandied about at some point).
19MAR2019 CSALP Renamed Airbus Canada Limited Partnetship (LP)
12-FEB-2020 Airbus pays $591m to Bombardier to raise stake to 75%. Québec donates buildings/infrastrcuture to CSALP to raise its stake to 25%.
04-FEB-2022 Québec ($300m) and Airbus (900m) invest $1.2b to productise the A220 and target 14/month. This investment was needed because Bombardier couldn't do its share and had to sell its shares in 2020 and it took that long to convince Québec government to waste more money into project. (Bombardier was supposed to invest to finish developping since 2016 and just got to first delivery and left assembly in "pilot project assembly" state).
23-JUL2024 Québec ($300m) and Airbus (900m) invest ANOTHER $1.2b to raise A220 production to 14/month
@@jfmezei Thank you for your reply. I didn't know that.
*Boeing lights cigarette and pours shot of whiskey*
Just do like the auto manufacturers. Deliver them without engines, to be retrofitted at a later date 😂
airbus needs a new factory to build more a320neos
...maybe you didn't watch the video but the issues are mainly down to the supply chain, not assembly. Building a new factory isn't going to help them if the supply chain throughout remains the same.
Airbus will build an assembly line in Tianjin, China in 2028
which is the assembly line for A320 neo family
They can build more factory,!
Airbus will build a new assembly line in China in 2028
meanwhile the comac 919 and the MC-21 sit in the background watching the shitshow lmao
C919 engines are french, avionics US, landing gear german,,....
I'm sure they are working on making it 100% chinese one day but they are far from it right now (look at the russian superjet story, many western parts, sanctions, trying to build 100% russian, crash)....and most likely will need new certicication after such a large number of changes.
The mc21 might never fly...
Meanwhile they will be limited by suppliers capacities at least as much as Boeing & Airbus
"MC-21" 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
MC-21 is the biggest disaster for over 20 years…
@alexandervt641 Sure you aren't talking about the Il 96? MC-21 is barely 18 and that's including the pre production phase.
@@No-mq5lw Since 2006 „developed“ as MC-21, before as Yak-242. A never-ending story…
Boeing murders there own employees to silence them
They have to production in india
COMAC Chance?
Still short on models and certification, but if situation continues...
Its boeing faults
Use Boeing's Everett assembly plant for Airbus production because there isn't much going on in that big building now.
Boeing is a virus now so nope!
👀😅🤣😂😅 just look at him!?
Buy Chinese planes instead
Good job airbus , china and russia new planes
Airbus is literally popular, besides the huge backlog makes other airlines forced to buy older and worse plane like the A320ceo families
You must be american. The A320 CEO is still better than the max.
3rd
It's soo nice that airbus pays the media to talk sooo good about them man. Hope they can fix the production issues they're having with the A220.
Airbus has a backlog of over 8,000 orders. They don't have to pay the media anything.
The only thing the A220 needs is an option to those unreliable Pratt geared turbofand.
Typical american
Airbus is 💩
American will always trust their Boeing even thou they murder a few people before
I think that's the worst take I've ever heard
Least extreme Boeing fan:
C’mon man let’s be serious, I’m Boeing guy all the way but you can’t deny airbus is seriously killing it these days.
@@dajuanvariste4751 yea, Airbus is definitely killing it these days, the only things Boeing is killing is... well, you know🤐
