Passengers Would Pay $150 More To Avoid Boeing Airplanes
A survey has revealed that passengers would pay up to $150 more on their tickets to avoid flying on aircraft built by Boeing. (aviationsourcenews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
when a person books a reservation on a flight,whether they use an airlines own website or something like expedia,the prices,the times and the type of equipment used by that carrier on that route is shown..boeing aircraft are used by almost all airlines, and have been for years,along with the airbus..regionals use the smaller jets,which are not boeing..i think a survey like the one mentioned is misleading,as most people just want to get fom point a to point b,whether vacation or business,when they need to be there,and they will not spend an additional $150 to fly on an airbus,which may or may not be used on the the route they plan to fly..this is a ridiculous survey..by the way, all of southwests aircraft are boeing 737,although i dont beleive they are using the max..
Very True, Thanks... However, I would pay %50 extra to Fly Boeing vs Airbus (or AirSkud as I call them).
Which might suggest that some people would perhaps pay a premium to NOT fly on Boeing.
However, as I have said earlier, it only becomes relevant if the numbers are high enough.

It is all personal philosophy. My reasoning is the Design. The Boeing is designed for the Pilot to have the Final Authority (Fly By Cable) of the plane. The Airbus is designed for the Computer to have the final authority (Fly By Wire). Where you can override the Airbus computers, it is tricky to do, but not impossible. There have been numerous airbus crashes just because the pilot did not recognize a fault and allowed the plane to crash by not recognizing the issue.

It's called alpha prot. or not. In many cases it has been proven to be not, AB in a nut shell.
Southwest has more MAXs than any other airline.
Complete garbage. Every day the commercial airline world does a "survey" and the result is always the same: passengers will not pay even a penny to avoid Boeing airplanes. That "survey" is better known as reservations and ticketing, and there's been no change in demand for aircraft seats based on their manufacturer.
