The Ultimate Turkey May Ground Airbus Permanently
Airbus may end up grounded if superjumbo fails to take off The superlatives abound. It is wider than a football pitch and almost as long, four times the height of a double-decker bus, and weighs 560 tonnes.The A380 superjumbo is, in other words, large. Obscenely so, some might say, since the list price is an equally extravagant £166 million ($471.5 million) - enough to build a hospital or three. Posted by: .com 2006-11-23 |
