Airbus secures $50 billion deal
15th November 2017
A terrific example here of the balance of bargaining power when a duopolist (Airbus) meets a business owning a group of low-cost airlines (monopsony buying power) to reach a deal for 430 aircraft worth - at list price - nearly $50 billion. The FT says that this may be the biggest deal in the history of aviation!
