Why Are There No Commercial Passenger Aircraft Other Than Airbus and Boeing?

In the announcements made when you board the plane, the name of the plane is always mentioned. “Airbus/Boeing TK…” We hear names like. Numbers may change but Airbus or Boeing name, never changes.

So why Only Boeing and Airbus entered the commercial aircraft market. does he rule? Are there no other competing companies? Let’s answer all these questions.

Major aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing control almost the entire commercial aircraft market.

Airbus and Boeing have many years of engineering experience and technological expertise. Aircraft design, engine technology, materials science and aerodynamics They are constantly innovating in areas such as.

They also have large production facilities, supply chains and financial resources. This would enable large-scale commercial aircraft production. reduces cost. Moreover, they have a wide product range to meet different market needs in different regions.

In addition to constantly investing in research and development activities, a wide customer network and international relations They also have it. They are now experts in meeting specific demands by developing long-term relationships with airline companies.

The difficulty of entering the market to compete with Airbus and Boeing is undeniable.

The cost required to enter the aircraft manufacturing market and compete reaches billions of dollars. Designing the aircraft, developing it, building the factory, producing it, developing the supply chain… These are all very costly tasks. In other words, a brand new to the aircraft manufacturing market must bet billions of dollars. Instead, it is much more logical to not take risks and invest in a different field.

Throughout the years mentioned above Factors that Airbus and Boeing are built to sit at the top of the industry and the risks taken by other brands make Airbus and Boeing companies pioneers in the commercial aircraft market, but we cannot say that there is no other company in the commercial aircraft sector.

There are manufacturers other than Boeing and Airbus.

Airbus and Boeing in the market too high to compete Although it is positioned there are also small-scale commercial aircraft manufacturers. For example, companies such as Embraer, Bombardier, Mitsubishi and COMAC; in the commercial aircraft market small market shares They own and produce aircraft of different sizes and types. Embraer and Bombardier in particular are important in certain market segments such as regional jets.

However, the aircraft produced by these companies are generally smaller and as it serves more specialized markets We always hear about Boeing and Airbus. Small-scale competitors generally continue to compete among themselves.
