Airbus prepared to scrap A380

AIRBUS has signalled it may have to shut down production of its A380 models if it cannot secure minimum demand.

The French aerospace manufacturer said the decision whether to shelve the A380 program would boil down to whether or not Emirates came to the table with a new order, Arabian Business reports.

“We are still talking to Emirates, but honestly they are probably the only one to have the ability right now on the market place to take a minimum of six per year on a period of eight to 10 years,” said Airbus sales director John Leahy earlier this week.
