Airbus looks to upgrades to counter Boeing’s new mid-market jet
Europe’s Airbus is examining a series of step-by-step improvements to its A320neo family as it prepares to defend its main cash cow against Boeing’s plans to compete in a narrow part of the aircraft market between large and small jets. The clunky working titles deliberately shed little light on what changes are planned, but underscore Airbus’s preference for upgrades to existing designs rather than investing in a costly new project at this stage. Airbus’s so-called A321neo-plus-plus would be rolled out if Boeing does go ahead with plans for an all-new plane seating 220-260 passengers.
