Airbus SE pulled the plug on its slow-selling A380 superjumbo, a rival to Boeing Co.’s 747, as airlines flock to smaller, nimbler long-range planes. The European aircraft maker said Thursday it would stop building the A380 in 2021 after Dubai-based Emirates Airline, the plane’s biggest customer by far, cut sharply its plans to buy more of the jets. The carrier will instead join others in buying Airbus’s smaller long-haul aircraft: the A330neo and A350.
