They're winning the ultra long range niche, but niche it always was and always will be. The A350-size aircraft market is being swept clean by the 787. And this is exactly where Boeing said that the very high capacity market would be, rather than the off-the-scale A380 - and this particular battle we'll all be watching with interest.
