A scene that would have been considered utopian years ago was seen in Dubai, where several Airbus A380s were dismantled in the desert. The photo is by an unknown author, but was taken recently at Dubai World Central (DWC), Dubai’s secondary airport, designed as the hub connecting East and West.
However, today the airport is mainly used for cargo flights and aircraft that will do some maintenance work in their workshops, with only a few commercial passenger flights.
As Emirates gradually withdraws its fleet of Airbus A380s, the world’s largest passenger aircraft, but with no airlines interested in the model, it ends up being sent for dismantling.
Taking advantage of the space available at Dubai International, A380s are being dismantled sequentially at the airport, creating a rather sombre picture and in complete contrast to Dubai’s main airport, DXB, which is full of A380s but fully operational. Emirates currently has about 110 A380 aircraft operating in its fleet.
