Malaysia Airlines has announced that it will delay its plan to sell off its Airbus A380 super jumbo jets. The airline has stated that it will now keep the 6 A380’s in its fleet until at least 2018. This follows the air carriers retirement its Boeing 777 fleet. The airline has been unable to sell the giant Airbus airplanes over the last year, as it moves to cut costs and restructure. Malaysia Airlines has been trying to climb its way out of a giant hole after the disappearance of flight 370 and the shooting down of flight 17 over the Ukraine in 2014. The goal is to return to profitability by 2018, the airline has stated. It’s facing some trouble with that plan, due to both a softening China market, and the depreciation of the local currency against the US dollar.
