traffic between Dubai and New York had rendered the superjumbo unsuitable after seven months on the route. The carrier will instead switch to Boeing Co.’s smaller 777.

Airbus spent $18 billion developing the 525-seat A380.

“The A380 is so huge that in the current environment it’s really hard to fill...That’s why we’re seeing delays in deliveries.”

Emirates, which operates four of the planes, says it may delay some of the 54 still on order. Air France KLM Group, Europe’s biggest airline, has postponed two deliveries, and Germany’s Deutsche Lufthansa AG will take its first two A380s in 2010 instead of this year. Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. of India deferred its first delivery to 2014 from 2012.
