Gutted. Best long haul plane in the World by miles. Hopefully Emirates' fleet of them will keep going for years.

I'd like to know how this will affect jobs when emirates (for example) have already changed the order from a380 to a330n and a350, more or less exactly the same jobs just different aircraft. Brexit is more of a risk than airbus canceling the 380.

The Airbus saga is a testimony to Europe´s failure. The plane was a way to unite European countries and every EU leaders was selling it as part of their official visits. Now no one is interested to sell it or force it on other Gulf countries, thus it collapsed, and EU to follow.

As evidence pour in of negatives from Brexit, the UK Leaders seem hell bent to do it. Airbus down, Boeing now back in the drivers sear, was that a part of the Brexit fallout? A strong Europe & strong US = strong team for democracy. Weaken EU & endanger democracy. Just saying

Surely Brexit must be the reason, but non mention at all. ProjectFear has gone to sleep!

What’s the replacement?

yikes

*waits for EU cultists to pile in and blame Brexit.*

Already aircraft passenger companies are bankrupt.

Good bye A380

Sad day for Airbus but even sadder for UK as Airbus will not need manufacturing plants for components for A380 in UK, so Brexit has 1st casualty.

😢! Great plane

Airbus to stop making A380 superjumboThe aircraft manufacturer will cease production of its giant jet after key buyer Emirates cuts orders. I bet they ask the UK government for money A darn shame although I think the 747 looks much better. Thankfully I have had the opportunity to fly on these on emirates and British_Airways. Massive things you wouldnt believe could get off the ground. Sucks! Such a great aircraft!

Airbus to halt A380 superjumbo production as sales stallAirbus has blamed weak sales for its decision to scrap production of its A380 superjumbo - the world's largest airliner. Hold on a minute? I've got to design here, possibly about 30 feet longer, a triple-decker, what do you think, it might use a little more gasoline, but think of all the people we can put in there. How strange you haven’t tried to blame it in brexit!! Don’t tell me...Brexit. 🤫

Why did the Airbus A380 fail?It was billed as the future of air travel, but airlines increasingly saw the jet as too big and inefficient. Because it’s ugly It didn't fail, airlines can't afford them Because people in the west are so fat, turned out it wasn't big enough.
