Y dale con Airbus

Otro muy interesante artículo en lo de Ramiro sobre Airbus, relacionado con lo que venimos hablando por acá. Aparentemente, los problemas no se terminan con el superjumbo A380 y están más relacionados a la problemática de las empresas estatales en general:

The biggest problem for Airbus today, to put it gently, is that its superjumbo should never have been born. The A380 program was launched in 2000 in the face of considerable skepticism. Aircraft were getting smaller, not larger. New technologies allowed long-range travel with great economies. Passengers wanted direct flights offering more choices, more often. Airlines wanted smaller planes to get rid of discount travelers. The A380 was a $13 billion bet on a shrinking niche.

Not surprisingly, the giant plane has proven unpopular. In the six years since its birth, it has won 159 orders, including 45 from Emirates, a carrier pursuing the unusual strategy of ordering scores of each type of plane to meet high growth expectations.
