KUALA LUMPUR: The future of the world’s largest commercial airplane, the Airbus A380, continues to look bleak in just 10 years of being in service. "The A380 is here to stay, and it is the aircraft for the future. The Airbus spokesperson said about 99 per cent of future long haul traffic would be between mega cities, many in the Asia Pacific region. "High demand and congestion means that this region, in particular, needs the A380,” the spokesperson added. To date, Airbus has delivered 213 of the A380 with 104 planes in its backlog order.
