Airbus and Boeing are engaged on a new battlefront: the narrowbody conversion sector. While Boeing, which has not yet signed-off on the programme, has a commitment from China’s YTO Airlines for converted 737-800s, Airbus appears to have revived plans for A320 and A321 conversions. With a new supply of aircraft, and new demand in the domestic express sector, this is likely to be a lively new market in the future.
