Killed like Concord by US jealousy and govt directives not to buy them. Overview Why Don't US Airlines Fly the A380? - AeroXplorer.com No, no U.S. airlines operate the Airbus A380, despite it being the world's largest passenger jet, as major carriers like American, Delta, and United prioritized smaller, more efficient twin-engine jets like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 for their hub-and-spoke models and point-to-point long-haul routes, avoiding the huge capacity and infrastructure needs of the A380. While foreign airlines fly the A380 to major U.S. airports (like LAX, JFK, SFO), American carriers never placed orders for the superjumbo. Edited on 11/12/2025 at 15:01:11.
