    And the repair costs are €105m, not a big deal if you consider Airbus' profits of €1billion...

    And stays silent when its sole competitor's new product is grounded. Ah, the joys of a duopoly!

    Boeing's 777 covered 10 time zones in 16.5 hours: Airbus, your turn.

    It's not the longest ever flown though. That honour would go to SIA Flight 21. Looks like it might be resuming soon.
