The largest passenger jet in the world, the Airbus A380, just started it’s US tour. Flying from airport to airport, the $300 million, 800 passenger beauty is impressing everyone and selling to no one. All of the US airlines have already labeled it as “too big”. US airlines would rather fly many smaller planes than a few SUPER jumbos. With airlines having financial difficulties, how would they even afford $300 million jets???
QANTAS has increased there order to 20 of the planes, they even did some runway widening at Melbourne Airport a few years ago for when they are delivered. There was an awesome documentary on the buildup of this plane too, can’t remember the name of it.
