IIRC there’s been an order for a single A380 for an unidentified customer on Airbus’ books for a while. It wouldn’t make sense for any airline to order just one and IIRC the single order had been linked with Roman Abramovich. What happened with that?

I'm not familiar with the specific instance that you refer to, but another article on this story offers this snippet:

Saudi Prince Buying 'Flying Palace' Jet

The airline company said it expects at least six other A380 VIP jets to be sold to clients in the Middle East, and Central and South Asia.

I have not read all comments . However, I released how some people heat us
First, I am not agree with our current regime as liberal we are fighting to made our country democracy country.
Second, Prince Waleed wealth is not from oil yet he started with 100.000$ (this amount could be from oil) but the rest of his money is from Weston companies.. he has share in the most successful companies around the world( I can make list for EuroDisney up to Citibank) .. that why he made a lot of money ..besides he is very smart in Adv (ex. He funded Michael Jackson historic trip when Michael was big star at that time everybody laughs at Waleed but for him he was create awareness. Today in the purchase of the airbus may be will be benefit when he offered to buy a company or insurance company of curse his strong financial reputation will spurt him)
Third, how many air plan Airbus made like this and how many customers in us buy like this plan .. I am sure there are tens of them but they don’t publish like this news to the media
Sorry for my broking English , I am still learning

As an aside, the A 380 demonstrator aircraft (Airbus house colors, FWWJB, s/n 007) will be in Orlando around 1600 this afternoon until 7am Thursday, the 15th. Probably arriving and departing Rwy 18R/36L (Western end of airfield). It’ll be parked on the ramp near the Continental hangar.

Welcome to Free Republic :)

P.S. The Arabic was from a translator--it was supposed to say "hello", sorry if it's inaccurate
