Do try to keep up - Airbus has ALREADY announced the A380 line will close in 2021, and most of those 65 orders you quote have been officially cancelled - outstanding orders for the A380 currently stand at about a dozen.
really, is that necessary? At least, when there are no orders, Airbus does the smart thing and cancels production. Cant say the same for Boeing. (one a month keeps a line open? until 2021?)

I dont mind Emirates reducing A380 orders when they add 70 other orders...all told, Emirates probably would have kept ordering.

The 747 was nice to fly, until the A380 came out.
