Current arrival passenger caps into Sydney are 430 per day, thus around 39 pax per inbound aircraft.
Does anyone have any knowledge or ideas of why CZ would choose to fly an A380 for ~39 pax?
It isn't for cargo as 777 has more belly capacity than 380 (and far less fuel burn)
Thoughts?
returning now, only one other 380 flying Asiana air, seems like a strange routing Seoul to Miyazaki. Triangular flight path. HL 7626
