Point to point aviation will be chosen over movement between high density hubs, minimizing demand for high capacity jets such as the A380. Only 200 A380 deliveries by 2015.
Delays with the A380 will set back the production schedule for the A350XWB. This will leave Airbus weak against the B787 and B777 and leave Airbus behind Boeing in the development of the next generation of narrowbody aircrafts in ten years.
