Airbus designed this aircraft with the assumption that airlines would want a large airplane capable of maximizing passengers at slot-restricted hub airports such as London Heathrow, New York JFK, Dubai, and Sydney. After cost-overruns and many production delays, the airplane finally took to the skies and started flying for airlines. Only a decade later, this marvel of engineering turned out to be a huge failure for the company. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
