Exactly, and don’t forget that whilst it makes all sense for airlines such as EY or AF to retire their single digit whale fleets, it does not mean it makes sense for EK.
EK was reasonably profitable before the pandemic despite their massive A380 fleet and that’s because of economies of scale which perfectly complements the hub model.
If you fill up an A380, it is almost as economical to run as 2 B787s when looking at fuel burn per seat mile (only 5% worse) That does not take into account the savings when operating 1 vs 2 frames or 100 vs 200 in terms of ground staff, crew, facilities, airport fees etc etc.
And, even A380 haters agree that the onboard product is unmatchable.
So, in summary, yes, most if not all A380s will fly again as long as demand recovers to 2019 levels within the next couple of years. They might want to bring forward retirement of the older frames if recovery takes longer than expected though.
