Airbus focuses on safety and environment

摘要

Airbus looks to be in a strong position with perhaps its biggest challenge being the ability to satisfy the demand for its aircraft - particularly single-aisle models - in a timely manner. However, there are threats to the airline business and therefore to commercial aircraft manufacturers. Convincing the outside world that commercial aviation is a safe way to travel has always required more than just a reference to excellent safety statistics. Air accidents make headline news and the recent Boeing 737 Max crashes have triggered forensic coverage. Boeing's predicament might be perceived as advantageous to Airbus, but the European manufacturer is adamant that this is not the case and that its strategy has not been changed by its competitor's troubles.
