Fair enough guys new aircraft have always seem to have new problems arise. But with their delays and the amount of money the airlines have paid to airbus for brand new planes i think it is ridiculous they have spent enourmous amount of time testing these aircraft out. Once a product is finished shouldnt it hold its value and reliability? They seem to be losing more money rather than making money on these birds, sure they are great they can carry more cargo/passengers and they are more fuel efficient. but with the amount of time spent repairing them and reimbursing passengers for delays they seem to be loosing rather than gaining. I havent flown on an a380 i will one day i absolutely love the aircraft.I think airbus is losing its value they might aswell build the planes in china if a problem is going to arise every 2nd flight .
