REFILE-Emirates pushing to take fewer Airbus A380s from final order - sources - Reuters:
Emirates, one of the world’s biggest long-haul airlines, is in talks with European planemaker Airbus over whether to take delivery of its last remaining A380 superjumbos on order, according to two industry sources.
The Dubai state-owned carrier has eight A380s scheduled for delivery before Airbus ends the programme for the world’s biggest passenger jet next year.
The sources said Emirates no longer wanted to take all eight A380s due to the coronavirus pandemic that has shattered global travel demand and which the industry expects could take years to recover from.
Bloomberg earlier reported Emirates was in talks to cancel five of the eight A380s.
