ILFC switches A380 order to passenger version

PARIS, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Aircraft leasing firm ILFC has switched an order for five freighter versions of Airbus' A380 aircraft to the superjumbo's passenger version, Airbus sales chief John Leahy told Reuters on Monday.

The move leaves express firm UPS as the freight version's only customer.

UPS rival FedEx has already cancelled its order for 10 freighter versions of the aircraft.

I think you're right, Carlos. This program is Dead On Arrival. UPS better start getting in line for Triple 7 Freighter and new 747-8 Freighter.
