Bloody light twin- 351 Tonnes HA!
Yes, but all but 160 odd tonne of that is useful load, and it needs a LOT less fuel than the Dugong.

I think we are the only airline (EK) operating both the 777 and A380 on the same routes (DXB-JFK, DXB-LHR, DXB-SYD) and the figures are "Enlightening".

On DXB-JFK the 777 has 6% less payload (but MORE room for freight) and uses 60 tonnes less fuel.

Now let's talk dispatch reliability......
