Not willingly. The rumor is, none of the Chinese carriers wanted to buy 380, but the Chinese govt sorta promised the French govt. In the end China Southern agreed to take them, in exchange for some hot international routes like Beijing to Paris. By the time the planes were delivered, the official who promised the routes were long gone, and the new one refused to honor the deal. In the end, the poor carrier is stuck with those huge planes and no suitable routes to fly them. They are apparently bleeding money.
