It's primarily their ability to fly.

The critical success factors are:

1) Design. Boeing and Airbus are the two dominant commercial airline manufacturing companies in the world, with some smaller niche manufacturers like Bombardier and Embraer. Airplanes are built with specific purpose. For example, the 747-400 is a long-haul carrier that address "thick" or heavy traffic routes with the competing A380 super-jumbo. Until the A380 was developed, airlines bought the 747 exclusively for these routes. Now that they have a choice, airlines pick airplanes depending on their needs - to which there is a specifically designed plane for the need.

2) Cost. Airbus typically sells their planes for about 10% cheaper (after discounts) than their Boeing counterparts.

3) Process execution. While both manufacturers decentralize manufacturing, the EXECUTION is what matters. For example, Airbus could not handle the wiring assembly in its A380 program, which has resulted in an 18 month pushback of the introduction of the plane - leading to billions of dollars of cost overruns, penalty payments and lost orders. EADS, the owner of Airbus, has lost billions of dollars in profits and even more in market value from its listed shares.

The common problem of air crashes with aeroplanes can be contributed to the lack of height.
