The Airbus a380, the European double decker, could its reign be over?

Airbus held a investor conference in London and had some interesting news on the super jumbo. Firstly, Airbus warned that it may stop a380 production as soon as 2018 due to low interest. This is understandable as the a380 received zero orders this year. This was met with a quite unhappy response from Emirates, the largest operator of the aircraft. Emirates said that they would update their 140 aircraft ordered if Airbus released a updated version of the a380. This leads to the second part of the story, where Airbus announced that they are thinking about creating a more efficient a380 and even possibly a stretched version of the already biggest passenger airliner in the world. Right now everything is still questionable as this information has only been released in the past few days.
