Airline By Airline: The Fate Of The World’s Airbus A380s

The Airbus A380 is the world's largest passenger aircraft. Built in the early 2000s to compete with the rival Boeing 747, the European manufacturer suspended the operation less than 14 years after its introduction. The "Giant of the Skies" can accommodate 525 passengers in a typical configuration and up to 853 in a single-class configuration.
