The author put forward a claim that Boeing may have lost the
battle in the aircraft competition with Airbus of European planemaker,
specifically. The grounds for the claim
are that the belated entry of Airbus to the market which had been monopolised
by Boeing and the own trouble of Boeing in its 787 Dreamliner. The warrant
connects grounds and claim is that Japan Airlines (JAL) had ordered 31 Airbuses
and placed an option for a further 25 jets. To back the warrant, the author
provided the historical information that JAL was one of the two launch customers
for the Dreamliner and was loyal to Boeing. The reason why JAL turned back on
Boeing is the delays and technical issues besetting the jet, such as the
battery fires. The real problem for that is the electrification of fight
controls, which may deter some airlines. Boeing is hoping to make up the bad
influence of Japanese decision with the new version of 777, but it is hard to
restore the reputation.
