Usually European companies prefer Airbus. Lufthansa is usually a safe bet.
US companies? Best of luck.

Its a good thing this hold over from immediately after the attacks on 9/11 happened is still in effect or the terrorist might have won.
Not to hijack the thread but which airlines is least likely to put you on a plane made by boeing?

I’ve never flown in an Airbus, in the EU. It’s all Boeing or tiny propeller planes.

shorthaul or longhaul?
I think its about 50% on Europe to Europe flights
Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Mostly short, but the few longer flights ive been on were also Boeing
seaQueue@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That matches with our experience from the US to the EU. Long haul is about 50/50 IIRC, you have to hunt a little bit to be sure the flights you book are Airbus

We’ve had mixed results with Lufthansa. It was absolutely stellar but they’ve had their share of avoidable sadness.
We like icelandair now because of (normally) the overnight stop near keflavik and they’re usually really pleasant people.

For US carriers off the top of my head, Spirit and frontier are all airbus fleets. Allegiant has one 737 in their fleet I think and is otherwise Airbus. JetBlue and Breeze have no Boeing products. All the big airlines have lots of Boeing products.

I will walk to where I need to go before I fly spirit or frontier.
