To think the A380 created such an excitement worldwide. Here Airbus flew one into Taipei to drum up sales and yet China Airlines and EVA didn’t buy any. Even though they could have used them on the Taiwan /US runs where for example EVA has as much as three daily to and from SFO and LAX from TPE with their triple 7
i guess the A380 wasn’t of much use to them on their other routes while the triple 7 fits in perfectly
and this may have been the same for many airlines
It simply was too narrowly focused an aircraft
The 747 just managed to be not too big on many routes while being just about perfect on others
