… but it’s still probably more airframe/engine combinations than you’d probably go for by choice.
If you substitute the B787-10 for the B777-300 on your list then it would look even more impressive - one less aircraft type and improved crew/engineering efficiencies. The B787-10 is claimed (by Boeing) to have seat/kilometer costs 10% lower than the A380 - very impressive if true.
