powered by four engines the a three eighty double decker can carry more than five hundred forty passengers but since its creation it's been plagued by delivery delays rising costs and falling orders bosses say the final blow came after to buy based airline emirates reduced an order of the model by thirty nine planes because of a fall in demand bosses of call the decision to end the a three eighty painful and disappointing but they admitted it made no financial sense to continue with such a large aircraft when the trend in airline travel is toward smaller planes like these trained between when airlines expected superjumbo to be the flagship of their fleet that switched very fast to airlines recognizing that actually there are smaller aircraft that seat a good amount of passengers but a far more efficient and it's the efficiency that is king. shareholders have welcomed the end of the a three eighty considered by some as a financial drain indeed the company also announced

a jump in profits on thursday but workers will be concerned as some three thousand five hundred jobs across the company are likely to be affected their bus will now focus on smaller planes but there will be many people who'd be sad to see the end of an aircraft widely regarded as a feat of engineering natasha butler al-jazeera to lose france. oh neal padron is head of aviation studies at the university of london he joins us now from there to talk more about this so i want to start by. did note that. the tasha sound at the end of her report there a lot of people will be sad to see this plane go particularly passengers who rode on a two door it was it was a very roomy plane lots of leg room it was great if you if you could afford business class in it as well why why was it not economically viable anymore for the airlines. tracy is

a fantastic aircraft and it's been flying for fourteen fifteen years one of the challenges the airbus always had with the ever say three ac is it was operationally quite limited there was quite a few. airports around the world that it could not fly in to the airbus a three eighty was really designed for the big heart the airports airports where congestion meant that more flights could not land and the only way to get more passengers in was with a larger aircraft so there was a tracy although it's a great fantastic aircraft we must make know that it will continue flying for a good another twenty five thirty years but ultimately it's an aircraft with four engines there are much much more technologically advanced aircraft being built over airbus and boeing now and for airlines it just means that having smaller aircraft it's the easiest to fill the aircraft the the load factor is much easier to achieve

so this is the number of passengers that are on the aircraft compared to its capacity and so therefore a measure of revenue and also. you know the aircraft there nowadays are much more fuel efficient therefore they're cheaper to run which makes the airbus a three eighty a little bit less popular much less popular with many of the world's airlines so how are. their main rivals their buses main rivals boeing in the united states going to be looking neat looking at this because of course they pinned a lot of their strategy on building these these a smaller more fuel efficient aircraft in the. yes so boeing. were probably a little bit worried when the airbus a three eighty operation first came into service primarily because it was that compete head on with its flagship so for seven aircraft the same for seven aircraft is still in production with a so for seven and eight aircraft particularly the face of the sions boeing itself

will look at this it's seven eight seven program the dreamliner is where is the airbus a three eighty is had about three hundred orders the boeing seven a seven has had more than a thousand and therefore it will continue to work on the survey seven it's a very successful project and for boeing they've also got the triple seven x. that they are working on at the moment in addition to the seven three seven max which are much smaller aircraft but it must also be said that the air bus although the airbus a three eighty goes out of production in a few years time there ever was a three fifty orders are are getting much more popular they are much more technological aircraft they're very attractive to the airlines they can fly into many airports around the world they have a smaller capacity and they're much more fuel efficient so for air bus although the airbus a three eighty project will be coming to an end actually it's exciting times in terms of the airbus a three fifty program could speak to you on this and your partner joining us there from london could get
