Airbus has further cut production of its A380 super jumbo amid a 27% drop in second-quarter operating profits to €859 million.
Deliveries of the world’s only double-deck aircraft will fall from 15 this year to 12 in 2018 and eight in 2019, the European manufacturer said.
Chief executive Tom Enders told the BBC that prospects of further sales of the A380 in the short-term were ‘not necessarily high’.
The last order for the A380 was two years ago, but in June Airbus unveiled a new, more fuel-efficient version which it hopes will tempt airlines.
