is there an economic advantage of using the Airbus over the 737 ? recently especially in southeast asia its raining a320 orders . Does the A320 offer some advantages to low cost carriers ?
Boeing is cheaper about maintenance but not in consumption.
Airbus is generally a bit more expensive in maintenance but cheaper about consumption.
But let's face it. Boeing (such as 737) are archaic a/c.
Airbus is now and the futur. It's a VERY easy plane to fly. (and more confortable).
If one day pilotless a/c will be in service, then, I bet Airbus will do it in first.
