Fifteen airlines have ordered the A380, including an order from aircraft lessor ILFC. Total orders for the A380 stand at 174, of which 173 are firm.[1] Orders for the freighter model reached 27 but dwindled to zero following the production delays. Airbus expects to sell a total of 750 aircraft, and estimated break-even at 420 units, increased from 270 due to the delays and the falling exchange rate of the US dollar.[2] In April 2007, Airbus CEO Louis Gallois said that break-even had risen further, but declined to give the new figure. Industry analysts anticipate between 400 and 880 sales by 2025.[3] As of 2006, the list price of an A380 is US$ 296 to 316 million, depending on equipment installed.[4]
