Airbus is slashing production of its A380 aircraft after struggling to find new customers.
The company said Wednesday it will build only 20 of the twin-deck A380 next year, and only 12 per year from 2018. That's down from 27 it delivered in 2015.
Airbus (EADSF) has been struggling to pitch the super jumbo to new buyers. There are 193 of the aircraft in use around the world, with 126 more orders from airlines lined up. That's way below the 1,200 orders Airbus said it expected when the aircraft was first introduced in 2005.
The A380, which was designed to challenge Boeing in the super large aircraft market, took 15 years to develop at a cost of $25 billion. Airlines are now moving towards more fuel efficient planes, rather than super large aircraft, to cut down costs. Fuel is the second biggest expense for airlines, behind staff costs.

No injuries as all stayed on board while the ARFF extinguished the flames and passengers departed via stairs.
If I am not wrong, since SQ doesn't own any of the frames (Originally posted by umedhah View Post
) they may speed 9V-SWBs departure. Though the Chinese way of operating things around here - bad luck and all. Or may be good luck as there was no loss of lives or injuries. You can never tell.
Then again, BA 2276 - G-VIIO was fixed and is back in operation. And G-VIIO was in a pretty bad shape - in pictures..Leave a comment:
