Airbus ready to axe A380 if fails to win Emirates deal - sources

Airbus is drawing up contingency plans to phase out production of the world's largest jetliner, the A380 superjumbo, if it fails to win a key order from Dubai's Emirates, three people familiar with the matter said. "If there is no Emirates deal, Airbus will start the process of ending A380 production," a person briefed on the plans said. Airbus and Emirates declined to comment.
