Is the A320 family maintenance cost higher than the 737NG?

Question

Hello!!

at this time i'd like to know if the maintenance cost of the A320's familiy is higher than the 737NG and wich one is more efficent.

another question is wich one is more expensive A320 family or 737NG, i saw the jet prices list in the Boeing website but i haven`t seen of the Airbus because it doesn't appear in its website so i'd like to know wich one is more expensive. in the case of Boeing the -700 is between 57.0 - 67.5 millions and the -800 is between 70.5 - 79.0 millions.

thanks for read my question i hope to have an answer from you or those who know about these questions.

Answer 1

Try asking the value jets or value airlines cause in Asia most shifted to the A320 only Jet Airways, from India, is using the NG's, -6 to -8. But since they acquired A340 & A330 they may soon refleet their NG's with A320.  

The Asia Air a conglomeration of Malaysia,Thailand, Indonesia & Vietnam has ordered 100 A320 to refleet their 737 series.

I happen to know this as I am the Senior QA inspector in Asia's biggest MRO, so they say.

Answer 2

The a320 is a piece of junk.

I fly alot, and every single time I fly on a 320 something breaks. Once the refrigerant from the ac vented into the cab, another time the instruments failed, and another had a complete electrical failure. I avoid them at all costs.

Ive never once had a delay from mechanical failure on a 737.
