Alexandria Simmons+FollowWhy Emirates Still Loves the Giant A380Remember when everyone thought the massive Airbus A380 was headed for retirement? Not so fast! Emirates just dropped $180 million to buy four more of these double-decker giants (with plans for a swanky new first-class suite). While other airlines ditched their A380s, Emirates is doubling down—think of it as buying the ultimate party bus for the skies. For travelers, this means more chances to score those onboard bars and showers, even as other airlines go small. Sometimes, bigger really is better! #Business #Industry #TravelHacks00Share
