new orders, but not to new airlines

The cited Bloomberg article specifies that Airbus has not gotten orders from new airlines in recent years, not that there have been no new orders.

Perhaps some discussion should swing to just how healthy or not it is for the aircraft to have Emirates as an enthusiastic and utterly dominant customer.

Not counting Soviet era Aeroflot, I don't recall other aircraft of importance near that of the A380 having such a narrow customer base. (Concorde was narrower, but...)
