Without knowing what each manufacturer classifies as a incident and what the classification criteria is those numbers are useless.

You can look at Avheralds reporting and Airbus has had these 4 events in the last week - cabin depressurization, smoke and fumes in the cockpit and cabin, loss of hydraulic system, and air turnback due to 'computer problems'.

Air Safety Network reporting has Airbus's suffering from 1 cabin depressurization, one unable to control cabin pressure (above 10,000 on departure), one hull loss (Tokyo A350, and one smoke and fumes in the first 4 days on 2024.

Absent detailing what they're counting it's very uncertain as to it's accuracy.

I'll post the full article. It has a hyper link to the NTSB reporting system. Using Jan 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 searching for 'Aircraft/Boeing/All damage/U.S.' it had 8 events for Boeing and 2 for Airbus.
For ALL of 2023 it had 11 events for Airbus and 32 for Boeing.

I don't know what they're using but using the link they provided, asking for 'ALL' damage, the data base doesn't support the article.

Yes garbage info without some statistical context.

And the media is definitely spring-loaded to run front page, national wire service articles about any Boeing incident. Personally I don't blame the media for that, the public is interested and there's only one entity to blame for that.
