The a380 had some minor hiccups exacerbated by American Europhobia. The dreamliner has experienced a PR disaster.
One of the first A380 wing rib repair jobs is about to start in China. It is scheduled for a six MONTH hangar visit, with a hope to reduce that on future visits to 3-4 months. Minor issue? YMMV.
