What does AIRBUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large passenger airplane built to carry many travelers economically over short or medium routes, functioning as an aerial counterpart to a bus service.
The word airbus was first used as a plain descriptive term for this class of aircraft, joining air with bus to suggest a shuttle service that moves large numbers of passengers between nearby cities. Airlines adopted such aircraft to keep the cost per seat low on busy short-haul routes, much as a bus keeps the cost per passenger low on the ground. Dictionaries still record airbus as an ordinary common noun for this type of plane, alongside its later, better-known use as a brand name for aircraft made by a particular manufacturer.
How AIRBUS is used
