THE first Airbus SE superjumbo to exit service will be stored minus its engines at a French airfield next week as its owner seeks a new operator for a plane that while still relatively young in industry terms has fallen out of favour with airlines.
The A380 will be returned to leasing firm Dr Peters after 10 years of service with Singapore Airlines Ltd, the model's first customer. With Airbus struggling to win orders for the double-decker and no second-hand market established, the aircraft will be parked at Tarbes in the foothills of the French Pyrenees.
