            Only 12 x A350? I thought they are ordering A380s too.

              They ordered 6 A380s quite some time ago (I think before the A380 was in service) but they have been deferred multiple times. Currently expected to be delivered in 2018 though most industry analyst believe it'll never happen

                      • Airbus is slashing production of its A380 aircraft after struggling to find new customers.

                        The company said Wednesday it will build only 20 of the twin-deck A380 next year, and only 12 per year from 2018. That's down from 27 it delivered in 2015.

                        Airbus (EADSF) has been struggling to pitch the super jumbo to new buyers. There are 193 of the aircraft in use around the world, with 126 more orders from airlines lined up. That's way below the 1,200 orders Airbus said it expected when the aircraft was first introduced in 2005.

                        The A380, which was designed to challenge Boeing in the super large aircraft market, took 15 years to develop at a cost of $25 billion. Airlines are now moving towards more fuel efficient planes, rather than super large aircraft, to cut down costs. Fuel is the second biggest expense for airlines, behind staff costs.

                                Yeah. I'm sure Bombardier will stay on top of things. They need to make a good impression not only because this is the entry into service for the C Series. LH will also be keeping an eye on it to see if it will enter their own fleet in the future.
