Airbus A320 Family Poised to Surpass Boeing 737 Worldwide
Airbus, a plane maker, is about to sell more A320 family planes than Boeing has sold of its 737 series, worldwide.
Boeing's 737 started earlier.
The A320 family includes different models.
In India, Airbus is very popular with a four to one ratio compared to Boeing planes.
This is because of companies like IndiGo who use a lot of the A320 family.
Airbus is planning to make even more planes, while Boeing is working to catch up.
Airbus A320 family is predicted to surpass Boeing 737 series in worldwide aircraft deliveries.
Airbus A320 family has already surpassed Boeing 737 in passenger planes.
The 737 had an earlier start, but Airbus expanded the A320 family to include several models.
India was an early adopter of the A320, but initially shifted towards the 737 with the privatization of airlines.
IndiGo operates a large fleet of A320 family aircraft, contributing to Airbus's dominance in India.
