Production of A380 will end by 2021. May be over dependency on one customer was one of the reasons as it led to a make or break situation. However, its is sad indeed as the A380 would cease operations in another decade or so. such a short span of service for a giant.
So very sad to hear of the early demise of the A380, what a waste of money effort and time.

There are few real markets for this plane at the moment, but the warning signs were clear: no american carriers wanted to buy and fly this beast.so except for a few national flag carriers keeping up with each other, and one middle eastern monolith- that was it. A business plan lesson for the ages.
