AirBus lands huge aircraft orders during annual Paris Airshow

http://avstop.com/june_2015/airbus_w..._show_2015.htm

Guess they took over Boeing's number 1 spot for sure now, if they didn't already

Not many 380 orders. They don't make them anymore ? Emirates has quite a few with more on the way. 800 passengers lol

A big part of that is due to Boeings production line. They are maxed out on their most popular models. United just converted some 787 orders to 777 orders because they couldn't get the planes fast enough. A new customer for the 787 can't get an airplane for years from now.

It's nice it's going well for Airbus. As a passenger I don't really have a difference if I fly Airbus or Boeing. The 777 is an awesome spacious bird. Haven't yet tried the 787. They are quite rare here. Most Long haul's are Airbus.

I have been on several brand new aircraft in the last year. On two different A321's on different airlines the cabin circuit breakers kept tripping in business class A business class seat doesn't do much with no power, except irritate the passenger.

I've been on two new 777's and a new 737-800 recently. No problems. Very nice aircraft. And no loud pump sounds in the cabin the way Airbus has.

Obviously, my sample size is too small to make a generalization, but the Boeing aircraft have been the better experience for me recently.
