Another example is CX. In the end we bought both, though we have gone for considerably more A330’s than B777 over time. This I would put down to price, not any perceived weaknesses of the Tripler which from our experience are few and far indeed.

I think he is referring to the economics of the A340-500 to say a B777-200/300LR. The -500 isn’t selling that well compared to its -600 brother mainly because the numbers with it don’t add up. It’s got the range but just can’t carry the payload. The -600 though isn’t much better from our experience. When the HGW -600 is released in a few years maybe this will help it.
