The 787-8 is not comparable to the 359XWB. It is the 787-8 vs the 358XWB and the 787-10 vs 359XWB. The 787-10 is still in development.
Anyway, airlines that go both for the A350 and the B787 should opt for the B787-8 and the A350-900XWB. It may be the A330 and the B777 winning combo of tomorrow. _________________ Yeah. |
