Used Airbus Group SE A380 superjumbos are being offered at a 40 percent discount to the $2 million-plus monthly rental rate for a new plane as leasing firm Doric seeks to spur demand for the second-hand jets.

Doric is in talks with a number of potential operators for a tranche of double-deckers that could be returned by Singapore Airlines Ltd. and Dubai-based Emirates from 2017 following the completion of 10-year leases, Sibylle Paehler, the lessor’s managing director, said in an interview.
