Boeing has made life a lot easier for Airbus over the past few years.

Which is good for Airbus, because they haven't been doing themselves a lot of favors, either. The A380 is a pretty good plane that nobody seems to want.

Yeah, the trend turned against large planes like the A380 and 747. At least until they can make them more environmentally friendly.

Especially since the B747 is way better than the A380 as a cargo plane, which removes an alternative for the A380

The 47 was basically a cargo plane first so it was pretty easy to make a cargo version
