Qantas cancels purchase of the A380 and Airbus may end up with your production

After your request to cancel 20 Emirates A380 – the largest commercial plane on the planet – another airline will no longer buy the plane, which is now placed in check and can no longer be produced. The Australian company was preparing a request for 8 A380, however this Thursday (7) has informed Airbus that won't make plus application. This was the second time in less than a month that an airline cancels the request of model, the worsening situation of your production, which has been affected by the low number of requests. As well as the Emirates, Qantas will focus its new acquisitions in aircraft lighter and economical. "For Qantas, the A380 is the plane of the past, not the future," said Ellis Taylor, FlightGlobal aviation consulting for CNN. With the cancellation of orders from Qantas, Emirates and Virgin Atlantic (which happened in 2018), Airbus has only 79 A380 order, putting at risk the viability of the project, which requires a special attention and assembly line of the European company.
