Many fewer A380's in the sky. Euros will need more launch aid!

Is Airbus too big to fail?

Just a guess but I would think that the biggest news here is that there will be a lot more job losses in the aircraft industry.
Boeing probably has enough cash to weather this, but losing this much business has to result in layoffs.

53 A380s ? I'm wondering of Dubie was the A380 "launch order". If so it's really sweet to a Boeing man to see that order cancelled!

No, I think SQ (Singapore Airlines) was the 380 launch customer.

Singapore Airlines was indeed the launch customer. Landing at Changi recently, it was very strange to see seven A380s lined up in a row at the gates.

53 A380s @ 750 passengers each X one flight to Dubai per day = 14 million visitors to this sand pile each year. Something’s wrong here...

"53 A380s ?" I believe I read that this is the latgest ($$$) aircraft order ever placed at one time. (something like that)

Are these businessmen insane? Did anyone at Boeing or Airbus take ten minutes to run the numbers to see if this order made sense?
Or where they like giddy five-year-olds at Halloween?
I bet the executives have already spent the bonuses they got for getting the big order.
These people disgust me.
To: Eric in the Ozarks
They fly more than just direct routes to Dubai.

Dubai has become a major hub for travel between the US and Europe to Asia.
Sort of like flying AirTran and most flights go through Atlanta.

To: old curmudgeon
Boeing is ALREADY laying off.
