Was it because they were expecting new orders from Emirates that never happened ?

Boeing started to promote its new 2-engines aircrafts and covid also happened.

Airbus should have indeed proposed a new version with 2 engines instead of 4 and it would probably have saved the programme…

instead they invested into the A350 which is now a best seller
