That means that over a dozen more A380s will join the ones currently flying.ever produced, in late 2021, went to Emirates.
That's not all. For some airlines, putting the plane back into service makes sense because the value of the aircraft has fallen so much that it's no longer possible to sell them."Some operators have realized that it's a very difficult airplane to sell, for many different reasons. If you don't have any A380s you're definitely not going to bring it into your fleet, because that's very risky and expensive," says Van Klaveren.
