RE: Airbus wing problems.... This report is new, although they've had problems with cracks before - among other things such as problems with the engines.
The 380 is the largest-ever commercial aircraft, involving great stresses on everything. It's also having problems finding space at many of the world's airports because of its unweildly size which can't easily be accommodated in conventional hangars where maintenance and routine inspections need to be done.
