Airbus fixed A380 wing cracks by replacing carbon composite parts with aluminum to avoid fleet grounding
The Airbus A380 is the largest passenger airliner ever built. Airbus launched the double-decker to compete directly with Boeing's 747 and targeted airlines that needed a high-capacity aircraft for long-haul routes between major hubs. The aircraft entered commercial service in 2007 with Singapore Airlines, and several major carriers later added the A380 to their long-haul fleets.
