Emirates, the main operator of the Airbus A380, has only three planes left to be delivered. The last will join its fleet in November, ending the commercialization process of the world’s largest airliner. The last aircraft was originally scheduled for delivery in June 2022 but was brought forward. These deliveries will bring the airline’s total A380 fleet to 118 units.
