53 A380’s ?
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.
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!
I believe I read that this is the latgest ($$$) aircraft order ever placed at one time. (something like that)
That's about the number of airline seats they would need to fly one occupant for each of the condos they are building in Dubai. The decision that was the number needed based on Arab logic.
