Airbus A380 Makes Maiden Flight (2005)
Airbus CEO Fabrice Brégier recently said something very honest about the Airbus A380. In his opinion the aircraft was “almost certainly introduced ten years too early.” If Airbus had progressed with Brégier-defined pace, the aircraft would have flown for the first time this year, but in reality it did ten years ago on April 27.

If they had waited 10 years on the intro, idk if it would have ever launched.
10 years later and not a single order from an American carrier. Does the A380 give airlines a competitive advantage?
Because they like Boeing - simple as that
Is that why Delta has so many Airbus on order?
Have you been to Dubai? It is not about this silly "profit" thing. It is about who has the biggest bulge in their shorts. Seriously.
Yes I have, often in an A380, and it's notable that Emirates Airline is highly profitable, with a US$1 billion bottom line for 2013-4. But is this due to their fleet of A380s or in spite of it?
It would be interesting to see if they really are or if its propped up by them. Reality is a very different thing. What is there passenger count on those AC? What is there actual profits? Many questions due to who is supporting that airline.
I looked up their latest financial report before posting my previous comment. http://www.theemiratesgroup.com/system/aspx/download.aspx?id=tcm:409-1644931.
In the Annual Report for 2013-4, they report 80% seat factor across the fleet, but I couldn't find a break-down by aircraft type. They also have the biggest B777 fleet.

If I am not mistaken, are most of their 777's cargo versions?
No, 104 777-300ER & 29 other 777 passenger models. Only 12 777F. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirates_fleet.
