TOULOUSE, France - Airbus held out the prospect of a clash over prices to counter any decision by Boeing to launch a new aircraft in the middle of the jet market, by promising a “left hook, right hook” counter-punch with two of its existing models.
Airbus aims to defend that space with its own A330neo at the top end and the best-selling A321neo at the bottom - two models boasting new engines on older airframes. Boeing says its possible all-new aircraft would be significantly more efficient than either Airbus model, but it is under pressure from airlines to develop it at the right price.
Scherer mocked the 777X as a “re-engined Hummer” hobbled by excess weight compared to the carbon A350. Boeing, which recently won a deal to sell the 777X to British Airways after a gap in sales, maintains it is the most efficient plane per seat.
