Analyst asks if Airbus should kill A380

"We have been a consistent supporter of the A380 and believe it will
indeed prove to be a technically proficient airplane that passengers
will enjoy," analyst Scott Hamilton, of Leeham News & Comment, wrote.
"But given the long-term financial implications, we have to ask, Has
the time come for Airbus to cut its losses and terminate the program?
While we continue to believe that the company will sell 500-600
airplanes over 20 years (down from our previously believe of 700), if
you stand little chance of making money, why bother? The resources are
better put to use on the core A3-Series programs."
