If and after Emirates Airlines terminate their own fleet of A380, that will be the end of the beautiful giant bird. Just like the Concord, the world will surely miss A380. ![]() 46 Likes 2 Shares |

Initially scheduled by the end of 2022, the phase-out of Airbus A380 fleet fits in the Air France-KLM Group fleet simplification strategy of making the fleet more competitive, by continuing its transformation with more modern, high-performance aircraft with a significantly reduced environmental footprint,” the group says.Ehen. Let them continue tweaking and tweaking until the planes start hitting the ground at 800km/hr. 2 Likes 1 Share |

A lot of airlines are having a rethink about the Airbus A380 as this new world order finally got them finding ways to reduce cost of flying. Boeing 777 series seem to be the darlings now. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

![]() Anyway,let them be donated to air peace, or the invisible Nigeria air; I think it's high time they began purchasing planes that can actually be seen. But then again, will they be able to fill the planes beyond 50% capacity? But why is France retiring the A380 nah ![]() I reckon the Jets are simply too big, and they are hardly filled to capacity hence incurring losses. And this was something that was built to dethrone Boeing. ![]() 14 Likes 1 Share |
