All agree with above, the real burning of cash comes when crew (2+1 pilot and minimum 16 cabin crew per flight) is hired and salaries need to be paid and the fuel bill and handling bills etc.

On top its such a limited aircraft, onlu +/- 140 airports worldwide can take her, and +/- 400 if you pray for excemptions on class E approval.

Norwegian was in trouble when they wet leased A380 from Hifly as the 380 took more space as the 787 and the new york service got delayed every day,

Even if an airport can take the A380 its with a lot but if and maybe.. so if they ever go airborne lots of operational hurdles to take too
