BERLIN — Airbus chief executive and president Tom Enders says he expects the company’s A380 jumbo to become an industry standard that will sell up to 800 planes in the coming decades.
Enders predicted at an economic conference Friday that the A380 will become the standard large plane in the skies, in the same way that Boeing’s 747 has in the past. Enders said he is “counting on us building more than 700, 800” in the next 40 to 50 years.
He made no comment on the incident involving a Qantas A380 three weeks ago in which one of its engines blew out. The Associated Press; Agence France-Presse file photo
