Airbus takes another hit....bigger one may be coming

I think the Chinese (China Eastern) is purchasing 8 aircraft. Airbus has forcasted several hundred sales to China in the future. I believe these forcasts are reasonable but they are down the road.

Also, Virgin Atlantic is postponing their order for 6 A380s by four years.

However the Emirates order accounts for 30% of all A380 sales. Thats a huge chunk of sales.
