Airbus is flogging off bits of an Airbus A380, with the profits going to the Airbus Foundation’s charitable endeavours. Items being auctioned include lamps, a bar, trolleys, seats, emergency exit signs, baby bassinets, a cockpit rescue rope and a faux marble sink.
The majestic A380, one of the world’s most loved passenger jets, is going the way of the Dodo. Though some airlines like Emirates still see it as a profitable jet, the vast majority of carriers are moving on from it, shifting towards smaller, more efficient aircraft, even for long-haul journeys.
The A380 was supposed to revolutionize commercial passenger flights.
