Airbus commits to new A380
The boss of Airbus has ended months of speculation by confirming that the plane maker will build a new version of its superjumbo, the A380. (www.thesundaytimes.co.uk) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I live an hour from the Boeing factories and I hear whispers from Boeing workers who live nearby and as far as I know the talks are for 25 or more 788's.
EK recently cancelled it's orders for the remaining A388's and is currently looking into 787's...
Where did you hear that?? I know they canceled there a350 order but nothing about the a388 order
Once again scarebus is wanting to build a plane that only one airline really wants..and all the others know two engines are where the world is headed. I would not ride on that plane if the tickets were free...Airbus never builds good looking planes... it was a mistake from the beginning and maybe it will be the end of a piss poor company.
Ridiculous statement Brad.
Brad, you can not say, an Airbus A380 is twice as large as a Boeing 777 so the heating is the same. The Airbus A320 is 16 centimeters wider than the Boeing 737 and thus the seats are 1 inch (2.6cm) wider.
+ The climb is much faster and faster in the noise zone and compentietie is very important for new developments.

One primary difference is that the 777 can go anywhere. The 380 can't. That is evidenced that they have bridged the gap to the 777X and have an order backlog, while Airbus only has 1 customer for the 380 and he is bad flakey. I personally think the 380 will go the way of the 340. Twins are going to rule, no matter what brand.
think also. it is easier to fly with smaller planes en frequently. everybody wants fly when thy won and not wanted too a plane is completed
