It is weird. He says basically that to scrape the A380 is possibly better deal than to sell a working plane UFF ! As always.... we will see If you own the engines on your plane they are probably worth £10m each !

Obviously, there are two reasons for this market situation : - presently, there is no second-hand market at all, any spare part you may need must be purchased from the manufacturer at a high price ; - the aircraft we are talking about are underperforming early-built frames.
