Bigger isn’t always better, at least when it comes to air travel. In an announcement that will surely be a bummer for fans of colossal airplanes, Airbus has revealed that its mighty A380 will be yanked from the production schedule amid lackluster sales and an air travel industry that increasingly favors smaller aircraft.
The existing A380s — of which there are over 200 — will continue to see service for the foreseeable future, but the company has no plans to continue making any more. Existing orders for the aircraft will still be filled, and Airbus says it plans to deliver the final A380 sometime in 2021, Reuters reports.
