Lots of speculation here, lots of B/S. Bottom line is the A380 has hit market capacity as did the the 74 series. The twin jets are the economical future. The A380 failed as a freighter, the 748 has just about hit bottom in the market with new aircraft sales. Difference is the A380 has to make many more deliveries before they claim to break even on the sales, it has been a liability for way to long. Makes me think of the MD-11 (sold many more aircraft), once the delivery's dwindle so will the service from Airbus.. Goodnite.
