daww

In some ways its not surprising with the upgrades necessary to support them. also how many airlines are cutting back on flights for various reasons

yes, it was and is to expensive to keep it in service -.-

Awwwww :c

you know I love big things *hugs*

*hugs*

Seems a magnificent bird. I wonder what they’ll replace it with.

Airbus say the new High End Plan will now my the A350

NOOOO!!! not the A380!!

very sad...

oh wow I'm sorry to hear the news

*hugs*

*holds*

you are a good Wolfy <3<3<3

I'm?

yes <3
*kisses* <3<3

*blush and wags*

so good woff <3

*pounces*

yay!

is the a "yay" it is gone? O.O

It is for me

why so?

I like the two level design concept of the 747, it was very beautiful <3

Damn shame, really. I really liked this plane.

yes *hugs*
me to, I always had a thing for Big flaying vessels <3
Like Zeppelins <3<3<3
(also gone, I like gone things O.O*)

Sadly there isn't a necessity for jumbo jets anymore given how stagnant air travel is. The A380 just doesn't save fuel or have any other environmental and ergonomical pros due to this. Makes more sense to purchase the 777 or 787. Airbus made a mistake investing in the A380 and that was forecasted when it was to compete with the 787.

But you must admit, it is a fascinating Plane <3

and the new focus is the A350 now, kinda similar to the B787.

well knowing how airlines keep planes around I`m sure there will be some in the air for a few more decades

mhm
I hope I can fly with one again <3

That is a shame, Boeing was afraid supersonic aircraft would take there sales. The 747 my not be the most fuel efficient but, they planned that the passenger service may die off due to supersonic service. I read they designed it as a cargo carrier as well and the concord was too expensive for the average passenger. Maybe they will find a way to keep it in the air.

The US air force have used the B52 since 1955, to keep them in the air they have to be creative and put in the money for the new upgrades. The Airbus 380 needs to adapt to survive and find time for a solution. New more fuel efficient would be a good start.

Till the Airlines will use the planes Airbus will still give them Service, but they have no plans the continue working at the A380 Project.
Inset they will focus on the A350.

I live very close to the airport but for luck this monsters doesn't land here! X3
For my LUCK the airport is very little with low air traffic! X3

the Sky is Draggy space? ^^

Yep! And I don't need metal noisy birds around XD

:p

Why are they ditching these planes? :O That's a lot of investment going to waste and they don't seem to have any major issues aside from a few errors. They weren't a disaster out of the gate like say the E2 class tank engines :o

nobody ordered them anymore ..

The A380 was just too late onto the scene really.

at least, better late as never ^^
