Return of the superjumbo: A380 makes comeback despite high oil prices

Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways Malaysia Airlines have put their A380s for sale despite weak demand from buyers and even current operators have sent some to be scrapped.

DOHA: Two years ago, dozens of Airbus A380s set course for storage in sites from rural France to the Gulf as the outbreak of COVID-19 accelerated the demise of the world's largest jets.

Now, the iconic European double-decker is gaining a new lease on life as airlines scramble to cope with rising demand and shortages of newer models, though for how long is unclear.
