it's just funny: the Airbus website talks about 90 tons of payload. Would make sense with 840 passengers, 85kgs each and 13kgs of baggage = 82.3 tons. The rest in freight.
However the actual 380ies flying have a payload of between 64 and 70 tons only! How do you want to fit in so many passengers then?
The bird seems too heavy in DOW. I wonder how you can make millions with a too-heavy = "super".
