Major Airport Cities Want the A380, Airbus Says

    John Leahy, COO Customers for Airbus argued in favor of the A380 from the airport point of view during today’s Airbus Innovation Days morning sessions.

    He pointed out that the aircraft helps to relieve strain on major hubs with heavy traffic.
