  • In Airbus’s early days, they released their very first aircraft, the Airbus A300. It was a go or no go project, being an aircraft with technology the world had yet to see. Many were skeptical or the new European company, Airbus, nearly leading them into an unfortunate downfall. How did Airbus prevail?

    To be accurate, Korean Air played key role in A300 and Airbus' success. They were the first non-European A300 customer. This affected Airbus sales strategy which lead them to focus on Asia-Pacific market - and many Asian carriers introduced A300s and A330s later on

    Correction: Iran Air actually ordered A LOT. of Airbuses and one of them are a350 1000s, a330s, a321 and a320s, etc. And the reason why is that theyre stuck with the a300s because they rejected the huge order Iran Air made from 2016, which I still do not know why.

    @Tpr_1808 5 месяцев назад +3

    4:15 Correction. They can afford new planes they are just heavily sanctioned such that they can't order any new planes so inorder to make money they must make the most of what they have by cannibalism of other aircraft to keep some in service. There was a point they ordered many a330s and couldn't get delivery of them before they sanctioned again so Airbus was forced to cancel them. That's why all Iranian carriers fly dinosaurs even though maintenance ain't cheap

    Im glad Airbus survived. Boeing needs proper competition (seriously, that's what keeps massive corporations innovating, and also drives their prices down by stopping them having a monopoly. No matter what side of the airliner competition you prefer, both companies benefit from the others existence even if they don't want to admit it) And while i will always be a Boeing fan, a sky full of em would just be boring. Plus Airbus tickles my tech fancy.
