Fuel Price Middle East
Its Like when you get fuel at Woolworths + Coles some airlines get the 20c off because they spent over 200 dollars on groceries and other foreign airlines only get 4c off but if the crew spends more then 5 dollars in the terminal they get another 4c off. Airlines just have to remember the shopper docket only last a month before it expires.

Goeing Boeing,
Think you will find that Emirates basically happy with original engines on their 380s,but Clark wants a 380 NEO, and EA have shown no interest in developing their 380 engine,were as Rolls have, hence the switch!

Capn Rex.
The main reason the A380 financials look so good for EK is due to the low average purchase price and in service operating cost guarantees.
As far as fuel is concerned I would expect EK to effectively pay less than QF due to their purchasing power. I am told the US military have the best 'deal' followed by the Star Alliance group. The invoiced cost is not the end cost due to volume discounts and rebates etc.
I am currently paying 12.262 cents per litre less than the 'pump' price for my fuel from Shell.

QF8 seems to be limited to an average of 270-280 pax

380 pax. More importantly First & Business are usually full even when the total pax load falls below 380.

There has been a couple of mentions that we have another 8 A380's on order. I thought that the Irishman had given them the flick. Guess I'm wrong.
When is the next delivery due?

AJ has publicly stated that there will be no more. Unless things change significantly, the remaining 8 will never arrive.
Mind you, if the A380 does get a stretch, or GW increase, coupled with more efficient NEO engines the metrics may change. Can't see it though.
I can't post as I can be identified but if you look at passenger loading for each day, trip summary and the number of offload callouts we do................
