Aircraft prices
Airbus and Boeing publish list prices for their aircraft but the actual prices charged to airlines vary; they can be difficult to determine and tend to be much lower than the list prices. Both manufacturers are engaged in a price competition to defend their market share. [1]
The Airbus list prices for 2015 are as follows and show a 3.27% increase over 2014: [2]
