Aha, z tym że A340-500 lata na trochę inny zasięg i lata na trochę innych tasach, pozatym jest mniejszy. Prędzej będą mogli porównać sobie po tym jak dostaną poierwsze egzeplarze A340-600IGW.

...

But the A340, won only 15 orders in the 11 months through November... But Boeing's competeing 777 models won 154 orders last year...
Airliners tend to buy multiple models at once, so a weak offering in one niche could kill package sales that include other types of jetliners. Noel Forgeard, the former CEO of Airbus and now co-CEO of its parent company EADS, said last Monday that the 777's success against the A340 is "a point of real concern to us".....

Airbus's immediate problem is lost sales. Boeing last year stunned Airbus by selling the 777 to longtime Airbus customers, including Hongkong's Cathay Pacific, Dubai's Emirates Airlines and Air Canada. In each case, new versions of the 777 jetliner trumped Airbus's slightly older four-engine A340 models. ... The A340 carries a midrange catalog price of around $200 million; the 777 is around $210 million.

.. "Strategically, the major thing that happened" in 2005 was that Boeing "dramatically lowered pricing," said Airbus chief Operating Officer John Leahy. .. Boeing officials have said that leaner production has allowed them to cut prices of all planes.... Airbus officials acknowledge they have a fight on their hands. "No doubt, the 777 has improved" said Oliver Andries, head of strategy at Airbus...

Airbus could slash A340 prices, while possible modifications include new engines, more lightweight materials and improved aerodynamics, other Airbus officials said.

... Airlines say the 777 is beating the A340 because it is newer, less expensive to fuel and maintain, and more reliable... The 777 has "exceeded all its planned performance criteria" for fuel consumption and range, Mr Clark of Emirates said. "That's why there's a resurgance of interest" in the 777. The Boeing 777 is more fuel efficient and less costly to maintain because it has two engines rather than four....

Air Canada Chairman Robert Milton said in April that the carrier chose to replace its A340s with 777s because they "have considerable economic efficiencies"compared with the Airbus models. He said that "had a very dramatic impact on the decision".

Air France, another major Airbus customer but also a big 777 buyer, is one of few carriers that has flown both A340s and 777s on the same routes. Chief Financial Officer Philippe Calavia said a first generation A340-300 from the 1990s burns about 15% to 20% more fuel per seat than a 777 of the same vintage... He said that Air France expects to "further increase the proportion of 777s in our fleet".

Britain's Virgin Atlantic Airways which placed 10 of the A340 orders last year, touts that all its planes have "4 engines 4 long-haul", a slogan in support of the A340. A spokesman said that the carrier's research shows that about 20% of passengers prefer four-engine planes because they feel safer.

no, troche przesadzili, jest jeszcze A330 (ale też się, faktycznie, słabo sprzedaje).

Chyba masz racje. Zaloze sie ze nastepny projekt Boeinga to bedzie zupelnie odnowiony 737. Zreszta niedawno Ryanair wyslal "delegacje" do Boeinga proszac o nowego 737 ktory bylby ekonomiczny nawet przy tych wysokich cenach paliwa. Badz co badz ale Boeing musi sie liczyc co taki Ryanair ma im do powiedzenia.
