Emirates is the carrier for the A380 with the bulk of the orders going there. They also have begged for more seats given that the 380 was prebuilt for a stretch. But even emirates has never been close to the full seat count on a baseline A380, and no other airline has found the A380 profitable to the point to consider significant follow on orders. The USA accounted for half of the world wide lift when the A380 program was going and none of the major carriers picked it up.there was little demand for a new build freighter build, so that program did and the 787 Balkanized the pacific the same way as the 757 and 767 fragmented Atlantic traffic which meant even the Japanese carriers didn’t really bite on the A380. At the end of the day the A380 was airbus trying to out-America (bigger, faster) Boeing, while Boeing stole Airbus’s big twin strategy with the 777.
