What are the reasons for quite significant difference in price between the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787? List prices for the A350-900 and 787-9 are around 317 million USD and 190 million USD respectively.

1$\begingroup$ Those prices are not the actual prices airlines pay for those planes. They get big discounts and more complex contractual terms. It's not like buying a box of pasta $\endgroup$– AfeJan 9, 2021 at 15:40

$\begingroup$ I am aware of that however the typical discounts are pretty much the same for both: forbes.com/sites/afontevecchia/2013/05/21/…, simpleflying.com/… $\endgroup$– user19440Jan 10, 2021 at 16:15
