Therefore said the factory management on Thursday that it goes against the hook is placed on the door for this aircraft, despite the fact that Airbus spent $ 25 billion on developing the project.
aircraft manufacturers had hoped to sell 1,200 aircraft to airlines that want big and far-reaching aircraft. It ended with only 300 sold aircraft. Throughout 2014 has not Airbus sold a single of double deckers.

According to the BBC, the reactions of large customers who have purchased aircraft, including Dubai-based Emirates, were strong that Airbus will now discontinue production.
The president of Emirates, Tim Clarke, says he has protested against Airbus’ plans, and also said that they will invest in several A380- aircraft if aircraft can be upgraded with new Rolls Royce engines.
Reactions have gotten Airbus to dampen slightly and the company now says that it is looking for a new “business case” for aircraft and that still have faith in the A380.
A380 was produced because Airbus had faith that the airlines would ask for planes with passenger capacity of 500 travelers because it would be increased crowding at airports in the years ahead.
