Airbus predicted at launch that it would sell 1,200 of the Superjumbo jets.
The aerospace company announced last week that it would be stopping production of its Superjumbo A380 aircraft.
This order came
one day after Airbus announced that the A380 Superjumbo would be delayed by another 6 months.
When the A380 Superjumbo first took to the skies,
much of the publicity centred on how spacious its economy class felt, compared with smaller planes.
The Sukhoi KR-860(Kryl'ya Rossii or Wings of Russia), earlier named the SKD-717,
was a double decker wide-body Superjumbo jet aircraft proposed by Russian aerospace company Sukhoi.
Leahy had warned only three days earlier that if the
company couldn't work out a deal with Emirates, it would have to shut down the Superjumbo's production line.

announced plans to scrap production of the A380 Superjumbo on Thursday, abandoning its dream of dominating the skies
with a cruiseliner for the 21st century after years of lacklustre sales.
