No, it's another reading of the obvious realities surrounding the A380. Your statement is baseless and cloaked (actually, not cloaked) with nonsense.

That graph speaks for itself. T

"Having once predicted that airlines would buy 1,200 supersize-planes over two decades..." The estimate was almost always 500, and that was revised to 250 few years ago.

"“It won’t recover from this,” said Richard Aboulafia, an aviation consultant at Teal Group in Fairfax, Virginia. “The new rate is seriously uneconomic; therefore it will die in a few years.”" - an outrageous statement, but wait on, the A380 program isn't supposed to be perpetual to begin with. So what?


Nothing you said makes any sense - the A380 program speaks for itself. The writing is on the wall for all to see. It appears you are unable and/or unwilling to accept this.
