Airbus Handed A380 Lifeline With $16B Emirates Order
Great news for both, Airbus needed that to save the program, finally have a chance to reach profitability, and solve the chicken and egg problem of no-one is buying it because it looks like it will be stopped, it will be stopped because no one buys it.Emirates, having half the frames out, keeps the program going which means they don't get trapped in maintenance hell.Funny to look back at the messages a few days ago here on HN saying it will "obviously not happen".
