Fearing Airbus will not be able to deliver before the new revised
deadline in 2012, United Parcel Service Inc., the world's largest
package shipper, has announced it will scrap their $2.8 billion order
for 10 SAS A380 freighters. As such, Airbus lost the last customer on
the freighter
version
of its superjumbo jet.

if airbus was supported by the governments it would have died years
ago.
its the chrystler of the air.


Boeing gets all the boosts government wants
to give it via it's military orders. Airbus doesn't
have that option.


boeing has to deliver planes for government money. airbus gets help with no
strings.
