The exterior is only the beginning of the wonders you get to experience when you get to fly in the A380, but the interior never ceases to amaze any passenger that gets to fly in this magnificent plane. Statistics The Airbus A380 has many amazing
Airbus industry was formed as the conglomeration of western European countries which included Britain, Germany, and Spain and was led by France. During that period, Boeing was the largest manufacturer of the commercial aircrafts and held the monopoly in the market, which brought the aviation industry of the European nations into their senses. This led to the formation of France led Airbus. Now, Airbus is one of the leading manufacturers of aircrafts and has a product line of aircrafts which range
Introduction In June 1994, Airbus announced its plan to develop its own very large airliner, designated the A3XX (Bowen, 1994). Airbus refined its plan, focusing on a 15–20% reduction in working expenses over the existing Boeing 747-400 (Harrison, 1996). To begin with, Airbus entered commercial service in October 2007 with Singapore Airlines. By December 2013, Airbus has received 304 firm orders and delivered 123 aircrafts (Airbus, 2014b). The Emirates has the most A380s on firm order - 140 in total
demanding needs of these supersized vehicles. The following paper will focus on the new Airbus A380 and the requirements that airports inviting this magnificent work of engineering to use their installations will need to meet. Airbus announces the Airbus A380 as “greener, cleaner, quieter, smarter: the A380 is a game changer in terms of aircraft performance, cost efficiency, comfort and sustainable growth” (2012). The A380 is an incredible double-decker aircraft, capable of carrying 400 to 800 passengers
Marketing Strategies Used by Airbus to Attract Business Customers Presentation of the Company Airbus is a branch of the international Airbus Group SE that manufactures civil aircraft and it is established in Blagnac, France. They have several production and manufacturing facilities in France, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States and has about 136,574 employees. Their aim is to be a recognized leader in commercial aeronautics and defense as well as space markets and in eco-efficient
main competition in the commercial airline market is Airbus. Airbus and Boeing seem to have the commercial airline industry in a chokehold basically having no other competitors. Since the industry has high barriers to entry they will not see much competition anytime soon. Boeing is the American leader in commercial airplanes and Airbus is the European leader, which means they are constantly battling. Their competing aircrafts are the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 747. Both companies have many variations
travel by air is rising at a rate of 5% annually. This is expected to double and triple within 15 and 20 years, respectively. Larger aircraft are being developed to handle the influx of passengers in airports. The Airbus industry made the first large aircraft, including the Boeing 777 and the A380. It is important to note that these aircraft are bigger than the initial B747-400. However, as the need for air travel increased, aircraft manufacturers developed the “super jumbo” jet, which has a carrying capacity

Operations refers to the transformation of raw materials(inputs) into finished products(outputs). The operations process is one of the key business functions and is a crucial component to business success. Like every business, Qantas is affected by many internal and external influences requiring it to have effective strategies to respond to these influences. Businesses that are able to adopt and utilise effective operational strategies are able to quickly adapt and either reduce or take advantage
Emirates airline service scope is including Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and about 67 destination of seven country in Australia. The history of the company The beginning of establishment of emirates airline, they only hire a Boeing 737 and an airbus A300B4. As the open and positive policy of Dubai, Emirates airline is developing and expanding to maintain a competitive advantage. From the beginning to the third year they had gotten a profit. In the first ten years, it had an effort to double in
in every aspect of the business” (The Emirates Story). History In March of 1985, Emirates airlines was created with support from Dubai's royal family. With an investment of 10 million US dollars, Emirates was able to lease a Boeing 737-300 and an Airbus 300B4 for two years ( The Emirates Group). The airline commenced its operations with a new route from Dubai to Karachi on October 25th 1987 and was once again assisted by the royal family who purchased Boeing 727s. Due to very limited competition
Porter stated; “for an airline to succeed in the marketplace, it must have a sustainable competitive advantage” (Porter M. E., 2008). The airline industry is the highest competitive industry, and I believe a sustainable completive advantage is essential to succeed in the future of the aviation industry. The competitive advantages that an airline embrace, needs to be based on the airlines strategy and differentiation to competitors. Emirates displays how it has a strategy and how the airline gets
Strengths • Recognised brand - Australia’s premium airline with the flying kangaroo on a red background is recognised the world over for excellent service and professional cabin crew. The Qantas cabin crew are the global ambassadors for the Qantas brand who communicate Qantas culture and values whenever they interact with passengers. • Domestic market share - Qantas currently holds a 65% share of the domestic market, with 85% of the corporate travel market (Freed, 2014). • Innovative - leading
passengers for the least money (Stafford, 2006). The A380 is made in passenger or freight versions. The A380-800 is the largest passenger plane in the world. When passenger areas are divided into three classes, the A380 can seat 550 passengers. When the entire plane is designated economy class, it can seat 853 people. There is 50% more cabin floor space than the Boeing 747 because the A380s upper deck goes the entire length of the fuselage (“Airbus a380 airfield,”2011). In 2010 there were already over
Boeing/Airbus Case Analysis Competition in the Commercial Aircraft Business With only a few large companies across the globe (Boeing, MD, and Airbus), the commercial aircraft industry essentially exhibits the qualities of an oligopolistic competition with intense rivalry. Here is an analysis of competition in the commercial aircraft business using Porter’s Five Forces. Figure 1: Porter’s Five Forces Applied to Aircraft Industry Barrier to entry: - High barriers to entry, to a certain extent
manufacturing accounts for more than 50% of the total commercial aircraft produced, it can be seen as a gate way to enter the large commercial aircraft industry, hence, compete with Boeing and Airbus (Harrison, 2011). By closely analyzing the president of Boeing, Jim Albaugh, announcement, "the days of duopoly with Airbus are over in the small commercial jets", we have to realize that the future of the large commercial aircraft won't be as it looks like today.
Lean Manufacturing in the Aeronautical Industry Jesus Zurita Ares One of the most exciting industrial rivalries is the one that Airbus and Boeing maintain in the sector of the commercial aircraft manufacturing. Year after year, they struggle to win the prestigious first place in the world's largest commercial aircraft manufacturer. For that reason they have to be competitive in prices and costs. But, what are they doing to be better and cheaper than the other? They know that both of them have in
Another sophisticated and highly advanced technological advancement, used in today’s world for long distance transportation, is the aircraft. Companies like Airbus, Boeing, Lockheed, Learjet etc. are fighting hard to keep on top of daily technological changes and are doing extensive research on designing and manufacturing energy efficient, low carbon secretion aircrafts. In general, jet engines (both supersonic and subsonic) consume huge amounts of energy and have very high carbon emission rates
In 1988 engineers at the Airbus headquarters in Toulouse started work on a highly ambitious project, the possibility of a commercial UHCA (ultra-high-capacity aircraft). By 1993 Boeing and Deutsche Aerospace, a member of the Airbus consortium, surprisingly declared they were joining forces on a VLCT (very large commercial transport) feasibility study, with the aim to create a product in a shared partnership that would lead in the limited market [7]. Nevertheless two years later this study was abandoned
In the past, the Airbus A320 is the best aircraft of the Airbus Company. It is can also flying across the continent for long distances. And In 1990, the Airbus Company decided to have a project to increase the number of aircraft for competing with other companies. So in 1994, the Airbus Company analyzed business-marketing opportunities; they decide to build a new larger aircraft, so in 2000, they official started the production of a brand new Airbus A380, which, was planned to be the world’s largest
