The A380 is ideal for a static niche market but that market is nowhere near large enough for the A380 to ever break even, (around 500 sales required now, I believe). Whether the pax like it or not won't be sufficient reason to convince the bean counters that airlines should buy it as a new type.

It may be technically the best but commercially it is a disaster for AirBus.
