Northwest Airlines is reluctant when Airbus bring A380 to US.
Published: 06/06/08
Airbus pay a visit to Minneapolis airport on their A380 jet plane but insist it is not a sales call, but Northwest airlines say nobody visits Minneapolis airport for its scenery; Airbus seem to be trying all marketing strategies for the Airbus A380 because of its slow selling. Northwest Airlines have agreed to have a look over the new aircraft whilst it has landed in their home airport.
The Airbus A380 was built nearly two years past the deadline and billions of dollars over budget. The aircrafts first commercial flight was last month, and flew with 455 passengers on board.
From its home in Toulouse, France the Airbus A380 will do a round trip with flights to Minneapolis then Los Angeles then followed by Sydney Australia. They are making this trip to show airlines, airports and passengers the aircrafts capabilities.
