Emirates' decision to purchase five Airbus A380 jets for $200 million indicates a resurgence in the superjumbo jet's popularity after the pandemic.
The deal allows Emirates, which operates the world’s largest A380 fleet, to counter delays with the Boeing 777X, ensuring its long-haul capacity remains robust.
Airlines like Lufthansa and Air France moved away from the A380 during COVID, but the aircraft's comeback reflects a shift in post-pandemic travel demand.
Qatar Airways is also reviving its A380 plans, reflecting a general trend among major airlines to maintain these jets amid delays for modern replacements.
