According to some reports, it was Airbus that canceled the order, without informing UPS:

Your article states that Airbus chose to delay production without informing UPS, and it appears from the other article that UPS chose to cancel orders because of that.

Airbus bit off more than they could chew on this one.

For commercial jets, I don't think the freighter version has ever been developed at the same time as the passenger version.

So, Boeing will no longer have the most impressive/largest airliner. That bit of prestige will be gone, but the decision to not spend $20B to compete against the A380 was a good one, as was the decision to stop development of the Boeing SST. Like the Concorde, the A380 will likely be a big flop financially.

Agreed.
