Airbus vs Boeing: Who is truly superior?
Since Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas in 1995, there have been two major aircraft manufacturers: Airbus and Boeing. Since then, almost everyone has been involved in an Airbus vs Boeing debate at some point. But which is the truly superior aircraft manufacturer?
My aim will be to come up with two answers to the question. Which one do pilots prefer more? Which do av geeks (people who like aviation) like? And which do passengers prefer more?
Naturally, with a topic like this one, there is no clear cut answer, and the answer I give is purely based on my own experiences, and a general consensus from other airline pilots and frequent flyers I know.
But before we can get into which is truly the best, we need to know the history, products and the reasons people think one is...
