Both Airbus and Boeing have significant operations in China today. But given recent geopolitical events, could this be about to change? And also, after Boeing facing so many challenges over the past few years, could these geopolitics now spell trouble for… Airbus? Stay tuned!

In order to match demand, he demanded too much of workers, which meant he had a very high turnover, and it was hard to keep know-how at the factories. Also, he jeopardized quality just to be able to deliver, and that meant cars had massive issues and a very high rate of failure. And even with all that, Ford still had issues matching demand. On both sides, too. At some points, they fell short of demand, at others, they overproduced and couldn't sell enough cars.

Thank you Captain for this detailed analysis. Airbus is very keen to open a FAL in India. Currently, they have 2 A320 production line in Toulouse (the old A380 is removed and currently being transformed), 1 line in Hamburg dedicated for the A321XLR and, 1 in Mobile (USA) for the North American market. In Tianjin, they are planning to double it, but even with this new capacity (~20 birds/month), it's not enough to supply the Indian demand. Furthermore, Airbus has the experience to set in a record time an FAL. The biggest question is about the supply chain capacity being able to tackle the demand (suppliers and Airbus itself in UK, Nantes and Spain). Boeing don't have the experience to export a FAL like Airbus, and US government seems very protective. On the other hand Indian new policies is Make in India, and this is not in favour of the USA and Boeing. Airbus seems to be on a very good path now. And if Airbus promises to come in India with a FAL and all the suppliers ecosystem (they are able to do it), Indian government is not going to expect less from Boeing.

The one thing that we can’t discount though is that China has one big thing on their side: they have so many citizens that scaling up production is very possible, especially as they have access to the facilities that produces a lot of the components that are relied on for the manufacture of everything. It wouldn’t be shocking to see them produce mega factories that churn out 2-5x the amount of product that competitors do, and use economy of scale to price out competitors. Also I wouldn’t put it past more companies to manufacture in Aussie regional centres eventually, (great to hear you pronounce one of our cities the right way too!) labour is cheap, (especially the more rural you go) temperatures never go down to freezing, there’s a fairly quiet airspace, and tons of open room to build.

Probably less than you think. Both companies have Assembly lines that are there for Assembling from scratch. You really can't do rework there. They have other groups that do modifications or repairs. That kind of thing sounds like work at MRO facilities not the assembly lines. All the Assembly lines will do is add a second/third check to verify the defects aren't present in the current production run. They would probably stop the line briefly to set up that process but then it would be business as usual. There are a lot more MRO facilities around the world than assembly lines.
@mmm0404 Жыл бұрын
I think the Current production rate is the same as before and Boeing is still targeting 38 per month before the second half of the year. So 737 MAX production will not be affected in the long run. Deliveries are the ones that have been affected , with some ready built frames needing rework to solve that issue
@ahndeux Жыл бұрын
They will be back to delivering 737 airplanes in a couple of weeks. The issues are being worked out and a standard repair generated to make the alterations on the affected airplanes. The ones which does not have the problem will be allowed to deliver by the FAA after a thorough investigation. The good news is they have great documentation and was able to trace the airplanes affected by the issue quickly. Now its a matter of working with the FAA for a solution and timeframe to complete it. Its a small issue compared to more serious issues found before. The FAA will probably issue an Airworthiness Directive to repair any airplanes already delivered with the flaw. Those repairs would not require immediate grounding of the airplane and can be done in the next A check or other inspection timeframes.

for those who choose to produce airplanes inside India (Airbus or Boeing) could always sell rights to an under-license production under the Tata or another brand... I believe the biggest problem with setting up factories in India would anyway be the certification of the product*, so, it makes sense for production for the internal market, just to avoid the international hassle.... with productions in China, I could easily see the hawks in the United States using Geopolitics as an excuse to ban Airbus from US airspace (as a form of tertiary sanctions)... but I can also see how if Airbus took a very Pro-Chinese Government stance, it could become a supported monopoly on the Chinese market. With Boeing going to China, I believe that it is far too involved in the military stuff to be allowed to work closely with the Chinese... maybe if they totally separate the civilian and military branches, but even then, dual use technology laws will give them a lot of trouble... pretty sure they are within the disclosure level where they have to get Pentagon approval for going international. "the certification problem being not (necessarily) for reasons of quality. but for the fact that the procedure is less than adjusted for that part of the world.

It would also just further complicate the supply chain setting of assembly outside of the US.

The only way these projects are cannibalising each other is that Airbus needs a lot of capital to accelerate deliveries of both types.

as a backgrounder, you could have reported on the number of 737 max aircraft already produced but not yet delivered ever since the crashes and the pandemic. obviously, Boeing has so many more aircraft already produced but needing to be delivered. so if deliveries have been resumed, Boeing obviously has the advantage. but these are aircraft that have already been ordered. as for new orders, Airbus retains the advantage. yes, the waiting list is longer. but if Airbus is able to succeed in increasing production, then that would ease a bit. still, obviously, both aircraft manufacturers need to expand their production lines. also, the problems are between the U.S.A. and China and therefore impacts on Boeing; this does not affect France or Europe and therefore does NOT affect Airbus. China is NOT Iran. Or, currently, Russia.

One thing which is important to mention: Boeing started 2021 with roughly 450 pre-built aircraft due to Bieing continueing to build 7437s while deliveries were paused after 737 lost its ability to fly. As of early 2023, there are still a bunch of already built 737s awaiting delivery (including those to China) so 737 deliveries can be greater than 737s built until that excess inventory of 737 has been delivered. Wth regards to China, it remains to be seen what the future of domestic aviation will be when you consider the exenstive try high speed train network it has built. Airbus has the edge on Boeing because it assembles the planes there (and less acromonious diplomatic relations), so as long as China remains a large enough inernal market for Airbus, that plant will be justified even if only for sales to China and China-friendly counrries. Big question is how much lobbying leverage Boeing will make in USA to block sales of US-made parts to China, and whether that would impact Airbus's ability to get those parts for its Chinese assembly plant.

Well, Pakistan might not agree with your last sentence. Or China, to the extent that the Sino-Indian border clashes ebb and flow but never seem to go away permanently. India has made great strides in orbital rocketry, so there is some significant aerospace activity going on. Airliners, however, have a way of making rockets look relatively easy. The capital investment, the extensive supply chain requirements, and just all the know-how which can only develop over time. China is an example of how things can go when a government simply decides they are going to build an airliner. Not a huge amount to show for it, given that they have been at it for 40+ years which included substantial outside assistance.

@marcmcreynolds2827 Unlike China, India has no ambition to displace Boeing or Airbus. Therefore, a line or two in India is not as complex as one in China.

Not economics or financial thinking, although they do have the brains to do so. Sino-Indo border is not an issue. The dynamics there, as I said, are intricate and NOT in the hands of the Chinese, unlike in Sri Lanka, Nepal, or in parts of Africa. A LOT more to unpack. Beyond this thread imo.

Then these brahmins created castes (dalits) and stopped them for not having anything like educations and money. Literally stopped them by again putting fear of God amoung wealthy and authoratative individuals. So dalits used to escape villages and run to cities leaving behind all the property and farms and starting from scratch. These were the religious barriers and side that India had to go through which no one will tell you or the rest of the world, but as you can see it was bad. But now due to NGOs Non Government Organizations and volunteers/ employees and some saints (who started the movement of breaking down the bad religious practices) we are so much better 😁.

The C919 on the other hand is not as efficient as the 737MAX, offers far less capacity, is more expensive to operate and is still unproven. Most chinese airlines are only ordering a handful of them because of political pressure from the ccp, not because they want it. So the c919 isn't necessarily a 737MAX substitute just yet
