I think two new fleets are needed - the cost (& time) for the A380 wing crack repairs is so prohibitive that one of the considerations being looked at is permanently retiring four A380’s and trying to bring ahead B787 deliveries. Would probably mean that the B747’s would have to stay in service for a few more years as well.
