Ryanair might take delivery of some. They know how to fill airliners. It's simple, pick a route, publish the schedule, then leave people to bid for the seats with the highest bidders at the time of flight getting to travel [actually, that's not quite how they do it but it's comparable]. Then open the doors and everyone walks in and sits down. Start the motors and take off. Simple.

Daughter Emily Chan has traveled on them and says they are great [from London to Singapore and back].

They are quiet, fast, fuel efficient, with great economies of scale, safe and all sorts of good things.

That says it all so well about the timing of investing in Airbus! Hence, EU?
