(CNN) — The last Airbus A380 ever made has been delivered to Emirates, marking the end of an era for the superjumbo that was once touted as the future of aviation until airlines cast it aside for smaller aircraft.

The huge double-deck aircraft, call sign A6-EVS, arrived in London on Thursday and will soon be entering into commercial service.

Beloved by many pilots and travelers, the A380's days have been numbered since 2019 when Airbus announced plans to cease its production in the face of disappointing demand for its flagship airplane.
