夏说英语新闻晨读 第537期:世界上最大的客机要停产了(在线收听) |
本期内容: Airbus has announced it will end production of its A380 superjumbo passenger jet after failing to secure orders – a move that puts UK jobs at risk. The European aerospace group said it had made the “painful” decision to stop making the world’s largest superjumbo in 2021 after Emirates, the A380’s biggest customer, reduced an outstanding order for 53 planes to only 14. Emirates will instead order 70 of the smaller A330 and A350 aircraft, underlining the trend towards smaller, more efficient aircraft that made the A380 unsustainable. The cancellation of the A380 will affect the jobs of around 300 airbus staff at its factory in Broughton, north Wales, which constructs the model’s wings. |
