The 787-10 is a market response to two major Boeing customers, Emirates and Singapore, who wanted longer range and higher seating capacity, not as a response to the A350, which is still a paper airplane.
The 787-10 was a market response due to the A350! |

They have to look at it because the 787 is getting booked up on orders!

The 787 was Boeing's decision to not compete against the A380, not the A350. The A350 was Airbus's response to the 787. |

I think you've got it wrong.
The 787 was Boeing's decision to not compete against the A380, not the A350. The A350 was Airbus's response to the 787. And the A350 in general is more geared towards competing with the 777, it only competes with the 787-9 market. |

I think you misunderstood my last post. I was not refering to the A350 in general. I was refering to the A350-900 which was NOT designed to compete with the 787, it was designed to compete with the 777-200ER. As a result Boeing is looking into what WOULD be called the 787-10(though it is not yet official) as a reaction to the A350-900
And the A350 in general is more geared towards competing with the 777, it only competes with the 787-9 market. |
Just curious...wasn't Airbus one of the main players in helping USAir emerge from bankruptcy, merge with America West and as part of the deal they had a letter of intent to be the launch customer for the A350....thanks in advance.

Yes, it was an order for 20 A-350s. Due to the delays in the A-350 program we now have the option to cancel the order.
