Christian Scherer, head of civil aircraft construction at Airbus, warns of the potential impact of the ongoing problems at US aircraft manufacturer Boeing on the entire aviation industry. Scherer expressed his concerns to "Wirtschaftswoche" and stressed that Boeing's difficulties could shake confidence in the safety of aviation, which would have an impact on the entire industry. According to Scherer, the current situation is making it more difficult to approve new aircraft because of increased pressure from regulators. Nevertheless, he denied that Airbus is benefiting from the challenges faced by its biggest competitor. The increased demand for aircraft has led to a rise in prices. Boeing has been under increasing pressure to improve its quality controls since an incident earlier this year after an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 lost a fuselage fragment while climbing. The two crashes of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in 2018 and 2019, in which a total of 346 people died, were partly attributed to errors in the aircraft's software.
