It’s also worth mentioning that even though both Korean Air and Asiana have A380s, those two sets of A380s are not the same. They have different engines. This isn’t like their A330s, 777s, and A350s, where both airlines chose the same engine.
Where is the Huge news? It's a pity that the A380 is disappearing because it's by far the most comfortable airliner, far superior to these unavoidable crappy B777, stuffing passengers in an awful 10 abreast configuration.
Airbus should try and make another A380neo, high capacity aircraft are starting to have a market they just need to be efficient. it might be easier said that done, but after this aircraft we are left with the 777X which isnt even in production yet, but that is still less compared to the 380. The A380 is the most luxurious aircraft in the skies
Maybe they are trying to increase the value of these A380s so they can sell them at a higher value. As an analogy, renovating a house before selling will increase the value of the house. One potential customer is PW, since they have some aging 747sp testbeds and they could be looking for a pair of GP7200 powered A380s as new testbeds.
If 4 engine planes are so horrible why are Airlines still using them, the A380 in particular? Everyone makes the same claim well maybe its not such a good idea yet?
If they are postponing the retirements of the behemoth due to new aircraft delivery delays then why are they receiving new 787-10s as new lease of life for partially replacing the a380s? Boeing will have new ones coming out of factory over this year which they will be able to deliver.
Calm down .. they're trying to increase the resale value of their remaining fleet.. Only have 7 airframes left...3 have no chance of returning to service.. Already broken up.
sounds crazy, paying the massive cost of a D-check for an aircraft they are going to scrap?! The damn plane will be like new, after the check, fit to fly for at least another decade. With Airbus and Boeing jog-lammed....getting rid of the A380 is pretty daft.
You're right, not cheap to service an aircraft they intend to scrap. Lufthansa had D-AIMM in Manila last December. From December 1st to December 29th. As many as 100 technicians work on a D check apparently.
BOEING FAILURE TO DELIVER? The question is Is Korean Air using this to push pressure on Boeing to "PAY FOR THIS" because of delays along with a total disbelief in the Delivery Slots that Boeing promised. This sounds like they have been "warned" by Boeing of further delivery delays BUT are not happy with the small compensation that Boeing is offering. They have NO ONE to sell them on to and "enhanced passenger comfort for 12 -18 months Max does not make sense. This suggest ONLY THAT BOEING IS HAVING ADDITIONAL DELAYS. that is in line with FAA statements which have made it clear BOEING HAS FAILED TO MAKE PROGRESS AS PROMISED - FAA VERY UNHAPPY!
Airbus axed the A380 for the same reason Boeing axed the 757: demand was low at the time of discontinuation and the engines that could make way for a more efficient re-engine was not ready yet
@ it would carry amount of passengers for a longer distances, plus I thought of my own fixations to make it a step up from the original, I increased the passenger capacity from 410 to 500 passengers that could really challenge the a380, I’ll explain more about my ideas if I get the chance to make a future video about them
Hardly huge news, tell me I'm wrong.
the plane size counts 😜
You are wrong if you insist.
6 minutes of waffle...

korean air and asiana do 9 abreast on their 777's
the 777 is wide enough for 10 abreast. the problem is its loud as hell and super dry.
Its an Update, not Huge news.
Thank you Dj!!
We need the Apex suites on the A380.

The A380 server an important segment of the market. Until deliveries improve from Boeing & Airbus I think they have a home in passenger travel

*Huge*
Alas Korean Air can hardly use the class 390 Pendolino!
Doesn't ANA have daily flights between Japan and Hawaii featuring the A380?????
yeah they do
Great news for the 380
I’d love to know emissions per mile per passenger of an a380 vs a350
If 4 engine planes are so horrible why are Airlines still using them, the A380 in particular? Everyone makes the same claim well maybe its not such a good idea yet?
because a four-engine plane is still better than no plane.
Such are the best laid plans of mice and men.😊

KAL is taking delivery of 787-10s and A350-900s without having to wait, but KAL is waiting on the bigger A350-1000 and 777-9.
Ohh so that’s why I saw the Korean a380 in the LT Hanger in Manila. Thanks for that information
Korean Airlines so-called Prestige Business class in the A380 configuration is terrible, unless you like the lack privacy.
Huge news about an aircraft 4 years out of production. 🙄
Calm down .. they're trying to increase the resale value of their remaining fleet..
Only have 7 airframes left...3 have no chance of returning to service..
Already broken up.
Huuuuuuuuge!
This why I’ll never fly the A380 in my life because they now retiring it worldwide from different airlines (except for Emirates)
It's not huge news. You should stop using big titles for crap videos. We can't trust your titles, and now i know to ignore them.

Airbus should just make it a twin engine with new generation two large turbofans.
Airbus axed the A380 for the same reason Boeing axed the 757: demand was low at the time of discontinuation and the engines that could make way for a more efficient re-engine was not ready yet
There are not large enough engines. Even two GE9X engines would not be enough.
Would a 747-8 ER challenge the A380
no. The standard 747-8 already had the roughly the same range. So why would more range help?
