to scrap production of the A380 superjumbo - the world's largest airliner. The European aerospace giant confirmed on Thursday it would deliver the final aircraft, with its two decks of cabins and room for 544 passengers, in 2021. Following months of speculation over the plane's future, Airbus said it had taken the decision after Emirates scaled back an order for A380s - choosing instead to focus on smaller planes. Airbus chief executive Tom Enders said: "As a result of this decision we have no substantial A380 backlog and hence no basis to sustain production, despite all our sales efforts with other airlines in recent years.] https://news.sky.com/story/airbus-to...stall-11636902 Yes the Far East Orders stopped that sealed their fate.
