Question 1. : Of all the A380 operators (current A380 operators Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Qantas, Air France, Lufthansa, Korean Air, China Southern, Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways.) who operates the a/c exclusivelyon ULH sectors?
As far as I know only QF and as a result of Crit points, mand fuel and RFF enroute (as white none correctly alluded) they land in LAX with approx 50 T sloshing around in the tanks.
Question 2: What is the cost of 50T of "dead weight" in fuel burn for the next 20 years of projected operation, or for that matter 50T loss of payload?
Question 3: If to be used on HKG NAM routes, on an eastbound sector what is the next airport after Chitose that could be filed as a Critical point pair?
Question 4: If it is to be used on EUR route structure, on a west bound sector what is the next critical point pair after Hong Kong?
Question 5: Is CX looking for an ULH a/c ?
