Hello, it seems Airbus has rolled out a new website prior to the Paris Air Show.

Feel free to use this thread to comment on the site...

Address of the day: www.airbus.com.


I want the European Union flag on airliners.net!

Looks very nice. Will be even nicer after Paris when all those A350 orders come rolling in!

Very nice  Smile

Also looks a lot more "convenient" and professional.

They've done a much better job incorperaing orders/deliveries into specific models than the previous website. At least on my machine, the page also loads much faster. The new colors are a blessing, I was so tired of that mid-80s scheme.


Isn't perfect, but it's an improvement.

Does anyone know where the Excel orders chart went?

Yeah, I always thought the old one was a bit too vague with orders info.

How much simpler could they have made it other than putting a button at the bottom of the pay saying "CLICK HERE FOR ORDERS/DELIVERIES"???

LOL 

I thought it was quite easy to find, and very hard to miss that excel file. The rest of the website though, not so navigation-friendly. This one is far better!

It required an Excel chart that was both a pain to load and navigate...

Not at all... it's easy to navigate, but it still lacks the in-depth information provided by Boeing's Airport Planning guides.

Did you check the images? Do I miss something or are large images only for press? I have downloaded high-resolution images from Airbus before to use them as desktop wallpaper, and I wanted to do the same now!  hissyfit  That's one bad thing I find.

I still quite like Boeings site though. Not sure which is 'better'.



And why the hell is there still so little info about the A350!!! I know they are being coy 'till Paris but even a little bit more would be nice to see.

Affirm! For high-res pics you need a press password unfortunately.

The new website is great. I hope this prompts Boeing into updating their website. They could make it a little more user friendly, like getting to each of the aircraft families.

Check Flight International (24-30 May), page 11. Article is called "Airbus Eyes Extended-Range A350" in which airbus has clarified where the A350 currently has gotten to. Also interesting reading:

-page 13 (Airbus in Rescheduling Talks) talking about the deliveries of the A380 to the first three cutomers
-page 26 (A380 sale looms as Conran joins 'Protect U') talking about private VIP A380s deal struck with Lufthansa Technik

I know I know, I was bored today so I did some reading. LOL Big grin

Holy cow.
Is it my tiredness, or do the engines of the A350 look incredibly huge?


Maybe its a secret asymmetric-airliner-concept with just one engine.

Holy moly, that interior video of the 380... I think I've just wet myself. I'm off to watch it again, then again, and maybe when I'm done watching it, I'll watch it a little more.

But seriously I love the new site (and please lets not get into who's website is better A or B, that really would be taking it too far).

From http://www.airbus.com/en/myairbus/events/

Quote:
A380 First flight
19 July 2004
Toulouse-Blagnac International Airport, France

On April 27, 2005, the first A380 took to the air for a successful first flight that lasted three hours and 54 minutes, and landed in Toulouse, France at 14.23 local time.

Is it just me, or does that date of 19 July 2004 not make any sense with in the context of the paragraph?

Maybe I'm just nitpicking.

I also like the new site but I'm rather amused that one of the first things I read is...

the [2005] Airbus order book also includes 22 A330/A340, allowing this family's sales to surpass the 900 mark, becoming the best selling twin-aisle passenger aircraft ever

"Best selling twin-aisle ever"? Hmmm. I'm sure they'll come up with a reason why that statement is correct but on the face of it it seems a little optimistic!
