If you’ve been thinking this is the year to buy a plane or two, maybe start an airline, here’s the Airbus equivalent of the Sears catalog, with good-better-best, or at least small-medium-large, and the price list.
In the photo above, you can see an A320, A340 and A380 in line…but sorry! the A340 is out of stock. Permanently.
And if you had your heart set on an A380, you’d better hurry. Airbus Chief Operating Officer John Leahy told the press today that if it doesn’t get a big new order for the plane from Emirates Airways, it will shut down production of the model. And Emirates chief Tim Clark says he’d like some more, and might order them sometime—but only if Airbus guarantees they’ll be in production another 15 years.
So, as we said, call before midnight! (and DO NOT expect to get 2 for the price of 1, although if you’ve got a big order, discounts are available.)
Oh, yes. If you’re a comparison shopper, here’s Boeing’s last-year price list.
