10 A380 orders cancelled?

Probably because said issue is no longer existant and hasn’t been for a decade or so.
The mirace of AD’s 😉

On a more serious note, this cancellation is about China flexing it’s muscles regarding the rediculous european aviation tax.

Funny, but when 737 orders are cancelled, you don’t see people jumping on the bandwagon and claiming it must be because of those rudder problems.

Don’t worry, the A380 will be a success…(whether Airbus will ever make any money off it is another question).
Whith the price of fuel always going up, it will make sense on some routes.

What was that I was writing about public confidence?
