No orders, no demand. This brings up the question if the A380F will be cleared from the Airbus books once and for all. “No, this won’t happen,” assures the plane maker’s Sales Chief John Leahy when asked by CargoForwarder Global about the program’s fate. According to the manager, it’s not a fly or die situation, the A380F is facing. Although Leahy admits that Airbus is currently not taking any sales initiatives to get the big freighter into the air in the nearer future, because of little to no demand by airlines for uplift capacity of roughly 150 tons per flight.
Leahy holds that Airbus is constantly monitoring the global market to be ready in case the situation should change with the A380F variant eventually getting a new perspective.
Major Tom remains optimistic
The manufacturer’s speaker Heiko Stolzke confirms that the construction plans are still in the drawer although they had become somewhat dusty. “We could start building the freighter version of the A380 right away, if needed,” he states.
Airbus CEO Tom Enders belongs to the optimists, believing that there will be A380 freighters flying sometime in the future. “But only as P2F conversions after the first generation of passenger A380s have been taken out of service due to age reasons,” states Enders who is nicknamed ‘Major Tom’ due to his former rank in the German Army.
