Just askin...
From the link in my previous post.
"In December 2004, Airbus owner EADS revealed that the project was £1bn (1.5bn euros; $1.9bn) over budget, at more than £8.4bn.!"
Dunno about the weight issue though.
The problems with the A380 was the reason I mentioned the performance specifications.
As the A380 doesn't have a direct competitor a little overweight might not be as crucial as in the case of the 787. If the 787 doesn't meet it's specs then Airbus will wipe the table clean with the much cheaper A350.
