The next logical investment choice for Airbus is an all new narrow body. This is their cash cow which they want to keep up momentum on. While a bigger wing and range extension is possible, will this allow airbus to stay ahead in the long term? The existing model is pretty good but why follow Boeing’s example and wait until they have declining market share before they do anything about updating. A new model will allow airbus to increase their market share over the max even more, while remaining competitive over any new product from the competitor. Give it a bit more range than the present A320, this will make the transatlantic flights easier, reduce the overlap with the A220, and encroach more on the MOM/797 market space.
