Hi

A friend needs this data just to build a case, please if I can get just generally not very accurate data on comparisons between A320 and B733.

I know they have different seating capacities but I will appreciate data like fuel consumptions,maintenance costs, training costs , lease rates and any other helpful details.

Thanks

A bit odd to compare the A320 and B733, a B737-700 or -800 would probably be more comparing apples to apples. The 733 is a bit smaller than the A320.
Try The Boeing Company (http://www.boeing.com) and Airbus - Welcome to Airbus.com! (http://www.airbus.com). You will be surprised what you can find there to start with. Then come back with the unanswered questions.

Thick Scottish type question.

How is it possible to compare and A320 with a B733. My main concern is the age difference in the both and technology difference so on so forth.

I agree that it is a very odd to compare these two types, but I can see some mileage for academic study in comparing how Airbus developed into the 80s vis a vis Boeing with their (upgraded) 1960s design.

Try www.b737.org.uk (http://www.b737.org.uk) for some quite involved 737 stuff.

Yes its true folks that it's odd comparing the two.

This is a company that has been having B732 for more than 30 years , have engineers trained on B732 and A320, they have A320 leased one with crew.

The rest aside , technology and configurations differences.

Whats the best way forward ?

What does B733 deliver in terms of all other costs against A320 ?

B737/8 slightly not affordable at this time.

One of he things that have decided Airlines to go Airbus, is the Luggage can be loaded in container/Palets in the cargo, whereas on the Boeing it is done the old way, by hand.. time and handling cost...

Colsie, what a baseless and insulting statement "Thick Scottish type question". Would you please pause for a moment before allowing your ignorant brain to spill onto the forum.

Why would you be using Pprune to do such a detailed analysis? Why not give Boeing and Airbus a call and get their sales people to wine and dine you!

I dont think it is a good idea, since both will come to the same conclusion, our aircraft is best :}
Making an independant inquiry is far better and unbaised.
Making a 1000 ft/mn touch down will be a hard landing on airbus with most probably a landing gear change, not the case for Boeing... :ok:
