It should be noted that Allegiant is notá The first time I will haveá planes Boeing in its fleet having operated airplanes Boeing 757 and versions of the McDonnel MD-80, but yesí to implyá a great future change in its fleet structure currently dominated by 117 planes Airbus from the A320 family.

The KLM and Qantas order for Airbus recently came out, leaving Boeing without two of its most regular customers.… Boeing's response? offer a discount to a low-cost company like Allegiant to continue the media war to see who sells more between the two large production companies.
I mean, nothing new under the Sun in these times of few models and a pandemic that endangers the entire Industry.
In the end, competition is good no?
Boeing, always, without a doubt, has been, It is and will be much, much better and superior than Airbus., in all aspects, both technical and commercial. End of story.
The truth is that this request seems a bit strange to me., The airline already had many Airbus aircraft and no matter how efficient they may be, the cost of maintenance of the two types of aircraft will greatly increase the cost., Even so, I think he chose the right planes but in the long term because for now I think they would start making losses as soon as they arrive and from there they will improve.. Good post
What can be deduced is that they will completely change their fleet in the long term for all Boeing.
It is the most logical thing but I think that until they achieve it it will be a little more complicated especially because of the maintenance and the personnel like the pilots and others..
