Airbus vice-president for Africa and Indian Ocean Hadi Akoum was in Nairobi last week urging national carrier Kenya Airways to resume buying this alternative to Boeing. He also took time to urge local authorities to make adjustments to the airport to enable it to accommodate the giant A380 – the largest aircraft ever built. The A380 is expected to come into service soon.
Boeing has said that such a large aircraft is not commercially viable. Airbus officials are so sure that it is that they’ve spent billions in the development and building of this behemoth capable of carrying well over 3 times the number of passengers the largest aircraft carries today.
My money is on Airbus.
One of the things the World Wide Web has done is help increase international travel tremendously. This is set to grow even more with the sort of budget fares that can only be possible with a giant aircraft like the A380. My firm belief is that the A380 will break all sales records for Airbus.
There is no doubt that Airbus Industrie view Kenya Airways as one of their serious prospects for the A380 in the very near future.
