Many of the popular airliners in service worldwide are built by Airbus and Boeing, but telling these manufacturers and models apart can be difficult.

Included on this page is a quick-and-easy, side-by-side identification of the differences between the common Boeing and Airbus jet airliners of the day.

A Few Notable Differences Between Airbus and Boeing Jet Airliners


The classic Boeing airliner has a 'pointed nose' with a 'V-shaped' windshield

The typical narrow-body Airbus airliner features a 'rounded nose' with windshield straight across the bottom, and the rear with windshield window 'notched'

But there are always exceptions! Like in the new Airbus A350 and Boeing 787. Shown below is the fuselage nose and windshield configuration of the Airbus A350 (top) and Boeing 787 (bottom).

Comparison of typical Boeing wide-body tail structure (top) compared with a typical Airbus structure (bottom) which has more of a straight fuselage alignment across the bottom of the tail

Boeing and Airbus Airliner Operations at Night

While spotting airliners during the day can sometimes be difficult, nighttime air operations make the process even harder.

One way to tell Boeing and Airbus airliners apart at night is by examining the pattern of the white light at the tip of the wing, known as the strobe.

Boeing wing strobe lights flash only once, while Airbus airliners flash twice in rapid succession.
