    AIRBUS Group is set to face a fresh challenge in reviving sales of its flagship A380 superjumbo as used aircraft hit the market.

    Malaysia Airlines said on June 2 it would like to dispose of two of its six A380s, deliveries of which began three years ago, while two built for failed carrier Skymark Airlines are seeking new owners.
