Insight 1 July 2020: How Boeing Can Recapture Market Leadership

News:
Airbus has captured commercial market leadership from Boeing. The MAX crisis exacerbated Boeing’s issues in the narrow-body market, and the failure of the Embraer acquisition left Boeing without a competitor to the A220, which is popular as airlines emerge from the pandemic as an exceptionally efficient aircraft.

If we look forward, new firm orders booked as of 1 June 2020 clearly favor Airbus with 7,665 over Boeing with 4,744. That is a clear indication that the future belongs to Airbus, which has taken a massive lead in the narrow-body market, 6,770 to 3,776.
