RE: AIRBUS 3XX???

What is to stop both the 747X & the A3XX from both being successful? take the A320 vs 737 battle, same sized aircraft,same range, about the same price and both have/are being sold into their thousands. Airlines pick a jet, usually having a specific route in mind because of its operating costs and payload size and if there are two companies vieing for the same market the airline will buy the one with most commonality with its other aircraft. Airlines prefer one company over another, Qantas & Air New Zealand are both Boeing operators, Swissair/Sabena & JetBlue are Airbus operators, if an airbus operator decides to put the A3XX on a route against a Boeing operator, the boeing operator will have no choice but to put the 747X on the same route just like what happens today with the various markets round the world. And currently many of the largest airports in the world are about the same age, so in the course of upgrading their terminals they are expanding facilities. Besides an aircraft photographer like me never turns down more photo oportunites, I think there’ll be some awesome photography in the next 10 years or so as a whole lot more airliners reach our skies, There won’t just be today’s business to contend with, there’ll be new airlines and regional airlines going long distance because of these two great airliners……Imagine in 10years time EasyJet might be flying 747Xs & JetBlue flying A3XXs, exciting times await in the aviation industry.
