Airbus must be laughing at how they fooled amateurs like, uh Singapore Airlines to launch it then, well buy more and newbies like Emirates who will go bust shortly as a result. Those legendary novices at Lufthansa will also be needing the assisitance of your independent analysis.
Btw don't group the "A340 family" up, the orginal A340 killed the MD11 and held it's own against the B777 for a while, the NG was beaten by a brilliant upgrade of the less than sterling B777-300 from Boeing. Best not to rewrite history.
