Their business model is at risk from airlines flying point to point. Work has halted on the new airport and he is now looking at twins. They have not exactly rushed at picking up more 380's
I wonder if 1 of the retirees is the unit that fell off the jackstands.
I was thinking that myself Rapid.
Also a year ago Emirates wanted more A380s and wanted Airbus to build an A380Neo and now they are starting to get rid of them lol.
They have more yet to be delivered..it should have been designated E380 since it seems Emirates was the only airline who "fell in love" with the beast.
Tim Clark is in trouble with costly A380s and looks for someone to blame for his bleeding airline.
Keep the jets, retire Clark instead.
Winter is coming for inflated Gulf carriers, except Qatar Airways. CEO Al-Baker is a smart businessman.
