A380

Lufthansa parked 14 giant Airbus A380 aircraft during the pandemic but now sees value in bringing some back.

Airbus is investing heavily in making planes that can fly entirely on sustainable aviation fuel as a bridge to hydrogen power.

The A380 has mostly been a bust as a giant passenger plane. Now Airbus is trying to salvage some value by offering to convert passenger planes into full-time cargo planes. But there’s a twist. Passengers will still ride along on the top deck. Will airlines buy in?

“Look, Mom, no seats!” That’s Korean Air saying it’s flying a passenger plane with the seats removed because it can make more money putting cargo on the floor.

Tough times call for drastic measures and Lufthansa sees the writing on the economic wall. It’s wasting no time shrinking for a smaller future.

The delay of aircraft components and replacement parts can mean tens of thousands of dollars in losses for airlines waiting to make necessary repairs, which is why so many turn to specialized logistics providers.
