A Game Theory perspective
On duopolistic interactions from Airbus perspective

. It publishes its financial statements even though it is not obliged
to do so by the French law. Airbus falls under the umbrella of its parent company EADS
and its revenue derives from two sectors of operations. Commercial aircraft manufacturing
accounts for 78% of its sales and its military division accounts for the remaining 22%.
Sales by countries and regions break down as follows: France 10%, Germany 9%, United
Kingdom 8%, Europe 12%, North America 26%, Asia/Pacific 22%, Middle East 6%, Latin
America 3%, and others 4%.8
Among Airbus’ customers ILFC (International Lease Finance
Corporation) have to be mentioned since it is the largest and most important one. Regarding
the competitive advantage of Airbus, we identified three main points of differentiation. On
one hand, there is the employee diversification which is a key factor for Airbus’ success.
Airbus always valued the experience and expertise people from different backgrounds
brought to the industry. Secondly, there is the customer support. One of the company’s
greatest successes in these terms was the announcement to freeze the prices of spare parts.9

Lastly, Airbus has a big advantage over Boeing in standardizing its planes. Accordingly, it
is much easier for a Airbus pilot to switch between the different families than for a Boeing
pilot. As some of Airbus’ weaknesses delivery delays and reduction in suppliers have to be
mentioned. One of the worst problems Airbus faced was the delivery delay of the A380.
Due to this, the parent company EADS had to change its whole management in October
2006. In addition, Airbus also plans to reduce suppliers from 3000 to 500 which would

companies it will saturate the market and make it almost impossible for new growing
competitors to gain a significant market share.
Working to maintain this duopoly may have some setbacks. First of all the rising
competitors will not react positively and may accuse the two companies of collusion, re-
open or build on past litigations. Secondly going back to a strong set duopoly would only
limit their possible growth to a maximum of 50% market share, but since the market would
be bigger, this would not affect the profits.
In addition to sending the right messages, to secure the duopoly Airbus must also push for
innovation in the right areas such as safety, sustainability and adaptability.
Recent historical events have made customers more skeptical about flying. A drop in
demand for air travel directly leads to a drop in demand for air crafts. To prevent this
Airbus should focus on developing safety control systems, for example against system
failures, terrorist attacks and epidemics such as SARS.
Moreover growing awareness about the depletion of the environment and a need to develop
environmentally friendly, sustainable technology is impacting consumer decisions in an
exponential manner. If Airbus is able to set itself at the forefront of this growing “clean
technology” it may create a sustainable competitive advantage. A first step to achieve this
would be to get the ISO 14001 certification for all of its manufacturing sites, in addition to
increase Research and Development in these areas. (also do R&D in these areas)
Thirdly, to properly capture new growing markets Airbus must be very adaptable. To do so
it can establish a Risk Management System that will hedge against exchange rate risks, and

First of all the rising competitors will not react positively and may accuse the two companies of collusion, re- open or build on past litigations. Secondly going back to a strong set duopoly would only limit their possible growth to a maximum of 50% market share, but since the market would be bigger, this would not affect the profits. In addition to sending the right messages, to secure the duopoly Airbus must also push for innovation in the right areas such as safety, sustainability and adaptability. Recent historical events have made customers more skeptical about flying. A drop in demand for air travel directly leads to a drop in demand for air crafts. To prevent this Airbus should focus on developing safety control systems, for example against system failures, terrorist attacks and epidemics such as SARS. Moreover growing awareness about the depletion of the environment and a need to develop environmentally friendly, sustainable technology is impacting consumer decisions in an exponential manner. If Airbus is able to set itself at the forefront of this growing “clean technology” it may create a sustainable competitive advantage. A first step to achieve this would be to get the ISO 14001 certification for all of its manufacturing sites, in addition to increase Research and Development in these areas. (also do R&D in these areas) Thirdly, to properly capture new growing markets Airbus must be very adaptable.
