The Airbus A380 may well turn out to be a bust. That Boeing isn't finding much interest in it's bigger 747 is interesting. Within the past couple of days there was a show (on Discovery I believe) about the Airbus company. In the show it was pointed out that airport managers are going to be a problem to overcome. The size of the A380 will require new facilities and equipment to properly handle both it and it's passengers. Airport managers 30 years ago reluctantly sized up for the then new 747 and they don't look forward to doing it again. A telling item here is that the first American company to order the A380 was FedEx - for 10 beginning in 2008. They don't have to worry about handling passengers and terminals, only the ground support equipment for tons of packages. If it suceeds, the A380 might be relegated to non-passenger service only.
