Fairbus or Unfairbus? A case study of Airbus through five questions

Abstract

In this study we will try to briefly answer five questions relqted to Airbus by using concrete and recent examples and clear economic mechanisms. We will use the Airbus case to learn about the origins of the aeronautical industry in Europe, about fair or unfair competition with Boeing, about the launch of the A380 new project, and about the industrial policy of Europe.
