The Future of Airbus A380

The Airbus A380 has lots of setbacks and delays in its history. The research and development expenditure on this unique airline was quite high and the company is yet to cover it. During and post-recession, there have been many changes in the aviation industry including preference for leaner operations. The luxury of this airplane would be a misfit in this situation. Plus after the mid-air explosion of one of the engines on a Qantas air flight, Qantas has grounded all of its A380s due to these faults.

 

Whether this record-setting aircraft will emerge victorious from these setbacks or we will witness another record in the form of biggest failure in the aviation industry is yet to be seen.
