Airbus to shelve superjumbo
European aerospace giant Airbus will stop building its A380 superjumbo, the double-decker jet that earned plaudits from passengers but failed to win over enough airlines to justify its massive costs.
The company will stop deliveries after just over a decade in operation, following a decision by the A380’s biggest customer, the Dubai-based carrier Emirates, to reduce its total orders by 39 planes.
