Do Airbus not already make a 400 seat aircraft?
I thought the A340-600 was approx 400 seats.......?
EK 773 in two class hold 434, and 380 in three class.
The A380 SuperJumbo, is just a way to show Beoing that Airbus have played catch up, and are now clearly on a level playing field.
Beoing have proven products, that they adjust/tweek, to improve performance and passenger comfort. Whereas Airbus appear to the general public as being forward thinking, with their new models, which breaks records, and set new standards in air transport.
I can't wait for our first A380 to arrive. My new office should also be complete, which will give me a view of not only the brand new plane, but of a brand new, purpose built terminal!
I'm all for it!
