New trend of travelers in New Delhi

In recent times, many travelers have started paying attention to the type of aircraft when booking a flight. This change has not come suddenly. Last year, a senior government official said that travelers were being given the option to look for flights based on aircraft such as Boeing and Airbus on SkyScanner, TripAdvisor and other international booking platforms. Now customers are demanding to see this information across all platforms.

Indian travelers have also filed complaints with the Center for Consumer Online Resources and Empowerment (CORE) under the Consumer Coordination Council (CCC). They are seeking information from airlines and booking platforms about which aircraft is being used on which route.

Importance of aircraft type information

In fact, for most travelers who don’t understand technical jargon, this is not a comparison, but it is a matter of consolation. Knowing the type of aircraft before booking gives passengers a sense of control over the journey. This information has now become an important factor in decision making for ordinary travelers, showing how much security concerns have influenced traveler behavior.

How do passengers decide?

It is clear from comments on social media that passengers choose flights based on the type of aircraft, even if it means changing airlines, routes or departure times. Mumbai PR manager Rohit Singh also shares the same sentiment.

difference between boeing and airbus

Airbus, which was founded in 1970 as a consortium of European aerospace companies and is headquartered in Toulouse, France, has built a strong reputation for safety. Its A320 family, one of the most widely used aircraft in the world, is considered reliable and efficient.

Meanwhile, Boeing, which was founded in 1916 and is based in Chicago, has been under scrutiny for several safety controversies in recent years. This American aerospace company once set the standard for commercial aviation, but its legacy is now being questioned.

Boeing and Airbus identity

For those who do not know much about Airbus and Boeing, it is easy to recognize the difference between them. The windows of Boeing aircraft are usually angular, while those of Airbus are rounded and smooth. Boeing planes have a pointed front, while Airbus have a rounded front.

Some iconic models, such as the Boeing 747, are recognizable by their raised upper decks, while Airbus’s A320 family dominates single-aisle routes and the giant A380 stands out with its two full-length passenger decks.
