File: Airbus Kills The A380, The World's Largest Passenger Plane

FILE: Airbus A380 wings sits in the production hanger at the Airbus SAS factory in Broughton, U.K., on Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Airbus SE decided to stop making the A380 double-decker after a dozen years in service, burying a prestige project that won the hearts of passengers and politicians but never the broad support of airlines that instead preferred smaller, more fuel-efficient aircraft. Production of the jumbo jet will end by 2021, after the A380s biggest customer, Emirates, and a handful of remaining buyers receive their last orders.
