It Will Cost Air France €370 Million To Retire The Airbus A380

KLM4me

As several people commented on the article...not to mention what airports have spent upgrading to accommodate the A380. Aesthetically, I dislike the aircraft but I'd still like to fly on one someday.

I guess Air France should have never ordered the 'Flying Whale' in the first place, they had a whole fleet of the more efficient Boeing 777, both the 200 and 300 ER.. so i never understood why they also had to add the much larger A380 to their fleet as well, makes no sense..

...that one day I will see many more colorful JC Wings MD-11 models and the long-awaited Gemini 200 TWA twin stripes 727-200!

I always fly America's favorite airline: Southwest Airlines and the World's oldest KLM!

Paris was the greatest city on earth! Vive la France! Tokyo 2020!

Air France just added a 'phantom' A380 to the fleet, the purchase price being €381 ea. RIP, Doug

Socialist government requirements....We don't care if you need it or not, order 10!

I don't think A380s are going anywhere any time soon, as ANA is a brand new customer with one more left to accept, and Emirates still has eight left to go.

Sadly, I wish the same could be said about the 747-8i. At least they have the 747-8f to keep em busy for the time being!

Yup, and this is why Lufthansa is currently my favorite airline when it comes to fleets.

Forgive my ignorance, but what would a phantom plane be for?
