FedEx canceled their order for 10 A380 super-freighters and instead ordered 15 Boeing 777s. I am glad because I see the A380 as nothing but problems in the future. Everyone was excited about the huge capacity of the plane but no one wanted to mention that most airports will need to be revamped to allow the plane to taxi and that potential delays could ripple through the daily takeoffs and landings due to the plane's huge wake turbulence.
