but I would agree that the orderbook for the passenger aircraft is looking pretty dismal.
They could always see if Lion Air is interested. Now the art of bending 737s is pretty advanced, they could try it on something more challenging.

When it comes to larger aircraft generally, how many routes would benefit from more capacity? Is it more cost-effective to send two 777s or one A380 with the same total number of passengers, given the opportunity for more paying freight compared to paying for two crews and two sets of landing fees?
