Emirates used to do two A380 round trips between Dubai and Birmingham UK, that was reduced to one a day in the covid pandemic. The two trips a day have not been reinstated.
Clearly this is an article aimed at American flyers and may I point out as a frequent flyer from Australia to Europe and or the US on this A 380, I urge you to demand that all your international airlines use the A 380 rather than the noisy B 777. On the A380 you will have an unparalleled comfortable seat regardless of class, ample washrooms and if you can afford a premium economy or business class seat, you will fly like a British Lord. Demand it as your right, you will never fly better.
As much as I love the A380, this video is pie-in-the-sky. Emirates told Airbus they'd order many more if it were re-engined, back when the A380 was in production. As you point out, now that it's out-of-production, setting up the supply chain again would not be feasible, not to mention RR is presumably still not interested in designing and testing a new engine [variant].
Simple enough...as a plane, it only serves the hub-to-hub model...however, European, Middle Eastern and Asian hubs are unable to free enough slots to accommodate the demand... And to put it simply, there is no high capacity plane out there that meets the a380 capacity. Additionally, Boeing have a tougher development process of a new super jumbo (the 747 - 800 was already unable to beat the a380 in every single parameter (except take off thrust required for cargo).
This guy is missing one important point. It will be such a tremendous challenge to find manufacturing capacity that the A380 will never go back into production. Production was stopped which meant production facilities were re configured for other production. The equipment was scrapped not put into moth balls just in case. To even begin to reconsider restarting production Airbus will require orders for 100's of aircraft. Delivery will be 5 to 10 years down the road once the green light is given. Just not going to happen. Wake up, Airbus lost the competition between point to point and hub to hub. Simple as that. Nothing to do with covid.
J’ai travaillé chez Airbus, et à l’origine, c’était un article publicitaire afin de montrer au monde ce que Airbus était capable de fabriquer. Il ne devait jamais être commercialisé.
This video is so contradictory and controversial. Why compare the 747 to the A380, knowing fully well the 747 has always had an advantage over the A380 due to its very early release in 1967? The A380 came into the avaition market in the 90s/2000s, several decades after at a time 4 engine aircrafts are no longer popular among airlines. Of course the 747 will sell more than the A380.
AIRBUS could launch the A380-900 Neo which was a stretched variant of the A380-800 back in 2011 - 2012 . . . due to poor A380-800 sales the stretched A380-900 Neo never realized . . .
This video is a total flight of fancy. Airbus has no intention of bringing back the A380, the biggest money losing aircraft of all time. The original assembly complex has been repurposed to build the A321, so a new assembly complex would need to be designed and erected. The supply chain and all its related manufactures have all moved on to other products. And it would still face the same limitations and airport restrictions as it always has. You could install updated engines on extant airframes for better performance, but that's about as new as they're ever going to get. The current CEO of Airbus, Guillaume Faury, has been firm on not producing the A380 in the future.
Depending on the demand of the market and the major customers such as Emirates and Singapore Airlines have huge orders. Of course, it's harder when building infrastructure and assembly plants again... We just discussed the potential
Airbus refurbished the assembly line. I do not see them building a new one, the numbers are just not there, even with the addition of a freight variant. But adding winglet on existing airframe could be possible. going for new engines, may be more complicated and would require quite some investment that I do not see airbus doing on its own. 777 will only be a prince at best, queen and king title are already taken and it will not replace them.
The A380 is an amazing aircraft but it was a huge loss maker for Airbus. They would not make a similar aircraft without many solid orders from major airlines.
Get real - not every airline is OBSESSED or even mildly interested or cares about this aircraft. No major airline in North or South America has bought one of these aircraft. These aircraft serve well on long haul flights where there is great passenger demand. There are no freighter versions. The aircraft has a very limited appeal to airlines and many passengers aren't that excited about it when checking in and claiming baggage having to deal with hundreds of other passengers.
It's unlikely that any A380"s will be built again. With a proper refurbishment program, there's enough out there to keep them flying for another couple of decades. Most A380"s will only probably do about two cycles per day. This is very kind from a structural fatigue point of view. I think what's available at present is all there is ever going to be available.
Lots are available. 777s have better fuel efficiency, as do A350s. It has a niche but is poorly conceived. Wait until fuel prices are high again for a while.
If Airbus decided too, it needs to come in 3 main variants, A380-700neo, A380-800neo and A380-900neo. A380-700neo would be used for ultra long haul flights 777-9 can't do, make it twin engined since it's size wont need it, American airlines like Delta could also use it since there is only a need for 2 jet bridges on one. A380-800neo would be a replacement for the A380-800 and be very competitive in terms of if Boeing makes a 777-10, probably 4 engines (or mabye two depending on what they think) and lastly A380-900neo for extreme high demand ultra long haul routes.
@@manuellangius2896 Freighter would require a new design and certification. Never going to happen, but then, neither will the A380 ever go back into production. This video is pretty much clickbait bollocks.

But the, I need Garuda Indonesia have to stop order more BOEING and prefer to AIRBUS for the world's largest AIRBUS operator for the future.
Wishful thinking. Better yet: dreaming. Airbus is now building A320's in the factory they used to build the A380 in. Planes that bring instead of cost Airbus money everytime one is delivered. Who has heard anybody higher than a janitor at Airbus state that they are looking at restarting the A380 production line? Which doesn't exist anymore by the way.
If this happens, Boeing is Going to Reinstate it's 747 programme to compete with the New A380! You bet that The New 747 interiors look like the 777X including the cabins such as cockpit and galley and more!
There is almost no chance Boeing will bring back the 747. They can barely take care of the planes they have now. Adding a brand new 747 to their roster of planes is the last thing the manufacturer needs. The 777X, which is coming out, already can carry pretty much the same amount of people as the 747. Once the 777X is out, Boeing has zero reason to even consider a new 747.
All boeing is doing, is to over milk their cows, until the milk becomes a health hazard. Both the B737 and B747 are models that were designed back in the 1960's and hence are based on old and outstanding technology. They can reinstate what they want, and they can dress it up and put a whole lot of make up, to make it look good, but it still won't change the fact that these birds are old girls and they need to be retired.
Airlines have started pulling out their a380 back from storage. If air travels keeps increasing at the rate it is at rn, most likely it will make a return
The Post Covid passenger backlog made ALL airlines regret their decision to stop ordering the A 380. Note that Emirates fully utilises All their 120+ A 380s and continues to refuse to think about alternatives until an alleged 2030+
The A380 was the worst plane I ever flew on, and its not even close. The air was so dry and so thin I could barely breathe. It was so unbearable I changed my return flight to a 777.
This is just untrue. If anything, the A380 is pressurised to a lower altitude than the 777, if not the same. Maybe you just had a certain respiratory virus that made it harder to breathe that day.
A380 is the beste air crafter I ever flown. It's very confi and very silent.

The A380 making a comeback is exciting news! It’s always been an impressive aircraft, and seeing it in the skies again would be fantastic.
Emirates used to do two A380 round trips between Dubai and Birmingham UK, that was reduced to one a day in the covid pandemic. The two trips a day have not been reinstated.
There are two flights per day on the route BHX-DXB. One with A380 an one with 777-300. That's not too bad, I think.
