The reduced fuel burn and extended range may, for the first time, open the prospect of profitably operating flights between Sydney and London, without the requirement for a kangaroo stop in Southeast Asia
If that statement is true it could become the QATAR/EMIRATES/ETHIAD killer. Basically means you can fly anywhere in the world non-stop. Not what the ME Carriers will want to be hearing.

If it makes you feel any better, Borghetti still doesn't believe the B777 can make money.
Probably more to do with the hospital pass thrown to him by the previous management rather than the aircraft itself.
