What does this imply for the future success of each product? Answers: In the 1970s, Boeing dominated all aircraft market segments before Airbus started to challenge it through a series of innovations. In 1972, Airbus entered the twin-aisle segment with the A300 B1 powered by just two engines, pioneering the concept of “twin-aisle-twin.” Over the years Airbus became a stronger challenger and caught up with Boeing in terms of market share. Since the 1990s, the two companies have been in tight competition for virtually each aircraft order. The orders for Boeing has been more than that of Airbus from the year 1996 to the year 2000 with the orders for Boeing decreasing in the year 1999.
