Dear MEL Topic Readers, 
Last ever Airbus A380 superjumbo assembled in France
Since the first flight half a century ago, Boeing 747, also known as Jumbo, has been produced and used for both airliners and cargo. This partly-double-decker wide-body aircraft received over 1,500 orders and the last dozen are soon to be delivered in a year or two.
Boeing’s arch-rival, Airbus, delivered the first full-double-decker superjumbo, A380, only 15 years ago and has recently completed the last production. Airbus hoped to deliver 1,200 when they launched the project, but it received minus 64 orders, meaning cancellations exceeded new orders since 2015. The company had no choice but to cease the production of this once-proud flagship aircraft.
What was to blame the most, over-expectation, multi-national politics, or competitive ego? Whoever gave the green signal to this super-jumbo project can tell the story.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about the production and fate of this short-lived airliner.
