Podcast: The Argument For An Airbus A380neo

Proposals for an “A380neo” gained fresh momentum at this week’s IATA annual general meeting in Doha, propelled by Emirates, the A380’s dominant customer/operator (listen to our audio interview with Tim Clark).

In this week’s Check 6 podcast, I ask Managing Editor Jens Flottau what he thinks the odds are of Airbus moving forward with a re-engined A380. We are joined by Senior Propulsion Editor Guy Norris, who explains why Rolls Royce is interested in the project — and why GE and Pratt are not.
