Airbus has pinned hopes of continuing
production of its double - decker jumbo jet on Emirates, the world's
largest operator of the
aircraft which took delivery of its 100th A380 earlier this month.
On July 2, 2012, Airbus, one of the
largest aircraft manufacturers in the world, announced that it would build an
aircraft assembly line on Brookley AeroPlex in Mobile, Ala., which will employ 1,000 people at full
production.
