Ugly As The 737 MAX Situation Is, Boeing Is Insulated By Airlines' Fear Of Missing OutAirbus is unlikely to win any long-term market share due to the Lion Air and Ethiopian 737 MAX tragedies because the penalties are huge for Boeing customers in switching to the only other alternative supplier. I wouldn’t be so sure of it. Chinese have lined up C919 as B737 replacement. And Bloomberg is already promoting it in the US. Also airbus can’t fulfill orders. You can cancel orders from the largest and most experienced plane maker in the world or you can wait a decade for a plane... no brainer for airlines. They aren’t scared by short term trading $ba Profits over people every freaking time!
