Course overview
Airbus’s A320 has propelled it past Boeing in the global commercial aviation duopoly, with 61% of the single-aisle market and record deliveries. Yet success in aerospace is never permanent. Boeing may eventually recover, China’s Comac looms as a potential disruptor, and both giants face the existential test of decarbonisation.
Airbus’s ability to execute on production, manage its supply chain, and make the right bets on next-generation aircraft will determine whether it can sustain its lead. For investors, the battle between Airbus and Boeing is not just about aircraft but about moats, valuation cycles, and real options in industrial strategy.
