Airbus A350 may bite into Boeing 777 sales - - by Dominique Gates
While Boeing focuses on getting its best-selling 787 Dreamliner off the ground, it is downplaying a potential challenge from Airbus to the star of its current jet lineup, the 777-300ER. That attitude could cost the company a large order from Australian airline Qantas and risk the loss of more orders in the long term from other carriers.
"Boeing [is] going to be in trouble with the 777-300ER," Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon said in Seattle last month. "The A350-1000 will, if Airbus is correct, produce an aircraft with lower seat-mile costs."
