While most of the attention in the aviation world is being paid to the woes of Boeing and its 737 MAX, it seems that the Airbus A380 is quickly becoming an endangered species. In addition to the thousands of jobs and billions of euros lost developing the perpetual white elephant, taxpayers may also take a bath with the end of the A380. In France, Germany, Spain and the U.K., Bloomberg says taxpayers lent more than 3.3 billion euros ($3.7 billion) so the aircraft could be built.
Here's three (3) A-380's called "Flying Honu" (Turtle) just delivered to 'Air Nippon Airways’
Flying Honu is scheduled to fly from Japan to Hawaii in the United States three times a week from late May 2019, departing from Narita international airport in Tokyo and arriving at Honolulu international airport.
