Airbus has nothing to brag about...

...Overall
The A380 has been a popular aircraft among aviation enthusiasts and passengers
alike. Even though Airbus will end the program in 2021, we will most likely see
the aircraft for years to come.
Airbus admitted that it was probably ten years too late when it introduced the
A380. Some people say that the project was doomed to fail from the beginning.
Additionally, it looks like Airbus never even came close to making a profit with
the airplane.
