DEBORAH MARCHINI, CNN ANCHOR: Well, Boeing wins the first order for its proposed super jumbo jet: Qantas is ordering six of the new long-range Boeing 747s.</s>DAVID HAFFENREFFER, CNN ANCHOR: However, Qantas is ordering far more jets from Airbus, including a dozen super jumbos. Janet Guyon, of "Fortune" magazine, joins us now from London. And Janet, this looks like a -- the bigger winner here, in any case, is Airbus, no?</s>JANET GUYON, LONDON BUREAU CHIEF, "FORTUNE": Yes, this is really quite a coup for Airbus, David. Those 25 plane orders, that's the first-time Qantas has ordered from Airbus, those 12 A3XXs, the super jumbos for Airbus, will Airbus to develop that plane; they now have 44 firm orders for that big 555-seater plane. It's going to cost them $10.7 billion to develop in five years. But they're saying we've now got enough firm orders and we're going to develop it.</s>MARCHINI: Janet, does Boeing have a competitive project and product, and how far along are they, since there seems to be a market developing for this thing?</s>GUYON: Well, Boeing does have a competitive product, but it is a smaller plane. They have -- these two plane manufacturers have a philosophical difference; Airbus has consistently said people are going to want really big names to fly long distances because there is going to be fewer, less frequency of flights, more people traveling. Boeing says we're going to have more frequent flights, so we don't need planes quite that big. So there's really kind of a difference. Boeing does at a competitive product, but it's just not as big.</s>MARCHINI: All right, Janet Guyon, "Fortune" magazine, thank you.
