Then you not been listening! First commercial flights yesterday and today - Singapore/Sydney.

Oh wait, that was the A380 - the world's largest airliner.

Commercial aviation is prolly the most boring things of all... right down there with soccer.

159 orders yesterday? It's jumped to 189 today. I copied THIS from a press release on the Airbus website:
Quote
To date, total orders and commitments for the A380 are 189 from 16 customers. Subsequent aircraft for delivery to Singapore Airlines, Emirates Airlines and Qantas are also well on track.
So, another 30 orders since when you posted yesterday. At that rate, they'll reach the break even point in less than a month! :aok
