A380
Doric to sign for the twenty A380's by the year end I have read.They want eleven abreast seating by raising the main cabin floor,how much time ,design and manufacturing is required for such a modification?Airbus made a mistake building the A380, they said at the time it was to complete their family of aircraft,to end the monoply of 747.They said hub to hub was the way of future travel,Boeing said point to point.The 787 sales are the answer point to point.So Airbus had to build the A350 a plane they said was not required hub to hub = A380. Airbus has had its first big sale in Japan with the A350,not the 380.So for now Airbus have 2015 delivery slots open,and you need to be cutting metal soon for 2015 delivery to customers or you have a white tail coming off the line at Toulouse.
