    • Abstract:
      The article reports on advertising missteps associated with the Airbus A380 airplane during 2007. It is suggested that the initial flights of the German-made double-decker airplane to the U.S. were meant to tempt prospective buyers including United and American Airlines. The author attributes marketing difficulties to negative news coverage and the plane's delayed debut.
