    End for a symbol of Europe technology: Airbus will cease production of the A380

    Hailed as the industrial counterpart to the Euro, the demise of a globally recognized European symbol coincides with growing political strains among partners

    The world’s largest airliner has run out of runway after Airbus decided to close A380 production after 12 years in service due to weak sales. The decision to halt production of the A380 superjumbo is the final act in one of Europe’s greatest industrial adventures and reflects a dearth of orders by airline bosses unwilling to back Airbus’s vision of huge jets to combat airport congestion.
