Tim Clark, president of Emirates, has called for Airbus to develop a new version of the A380, utilizing lighter materials and advanced engine technology that could enhance fuel efficiency by 25%. Clark, who asserts that the aircraft remains profitable for Emirates, believes that a revamped model could attract new orders from airlines, despite the initial hesitance from other airline executives. Emirates is the leading operator of the A380 and has presented design ideas to Airbus, indicating a strong interest in resuming production of the superjumbo.
Well, they know we do. I've given them the designs.
I believe there is a case. The risk-averse nature of my peer group... is probably a major inhibitor to that.
