The Airbus A380 has been decorated as one of the most remarkable aircraft to have ever been created. With its roots dating back to the 1990s, Airbus developed the aircraft type to compete with Boeings ever-so-popular 747 aircraft family. Although the A380 family has not quite seen as much success as its US-made counterpart, the aircraft has proved its reliability to airlines and has been a passenger favorite. At one point, the future of the A380 seemed grim, but that narrative appears to have somewhat reversed course.
